Jon.




Why did they single out Lincolnshire? All the other places they mention are
regions, and I would have thought that Lincolnshire would be included in one
of them.

Or perhaps not - they don't mention the East Midlands, so perhaps it will
miss us.

There's seems to be always some doubt about which region includes
Lincolnshire. It may be the Midlands but ,when I lived there, I always felt
most closely linked with East Anglia - certainly from the weather point of
view.
Wording is strange....why the AND - and not just ...Wales, East Anglia and
Lincolnshire.

You know that you're in a country that rarely receives snow when you get a
"Heavy Snow" warning for an event that *could* leave "Accumulations of
several cm" on the hills!



Especially when it is under a heading which says...

"These warnings are issued when severe weather is expected to cause
widespread disruption to traffic etc. over the next few days."

Yeah right.

Whatever happened to the substantial snowfalls that I remember when I was
going to school in the 80's?

Haven't seen substantial snow now for many years.

IIRC the warnings are still transmitted entirely in upper case. There's no
significance to the "AND" above; I suspect it's merely the result of the
technical 'jiggery pokery' that relays the bulletin onto the web page.

Jon.

I suppose it will be eventually justified as soon there will be a whole
generation who have never seen 15cm of snow so a few cms will be severe.

PS. -a fter some very clear nights why does it always have to cloud over the
night of the Leonid meteor showers.

The Leonids are expected to peak around 2150 on the 19th, not tonight
or are you just saying it will be cloudy Friday night?

It's certainly not a one night event. Driving back from a concert in
the early hours of Sunday morning, I stopped for 5 minutes in deepest
darkest mid Hampshire - and saw a bright meteor trail without even
looking for it. Not as spectacular as seeing the milky way however,
free of any light pollutuion!

I live in South Lincs and its a complete non-region! We get missd off
everything being just in between two areas (you have to buy the midlands and
east anglia auto traders, then everything is still miles away!)
The top of the county could almost be "northern england" being next to
yorkshire, where I am is probably Midlands, although if Derby is East Mids,
I must be EastEast Mids! Then in the far southeast of the county you're
probably East Anglia... Life with no identity tsk...
