The question is will they lead to disruption... hence the warning. Jon. |

Early Warning of Heavy Snow
I suppose the Met Office are anxious around some sort of liability for some
poor old dear slipping on slush whilst walking ten miles to her new post-office (or casino). It is for them, as Alex Ferguson so graphically put it "squeaky bum time". Of course under New Labour they'll probably be presented with snow-flake targets to make sure that individual needs are met thus offering choice with appropriate targeting.
