I'm sorry too if I overdid it! I am mad by the local paper saying that
significant snow hit Essex today. Somehow, the Met Office escape humiliation now because of some numbskull reported 10cm when there wasn't. Tom Chelmsford, Essex (106m) |

"Tom" wrote in message .. . I'm sorry too if I overdid it! I am mad by the local paper saying that significant snow hit Essex today. Somehow, the Met Office escape humiliation now because of some numbskull reported 10cm when there wasn't. The saddest thing is, they 'got it wrong' not because of incompetence but because of the usual hype. The comments on this ng last night suggest the MO knew full well what the 'real' chances of that happening were, but they decided to go into full 'panic mode' all the same. Thing is, the public won't see it that way and will just put it down to 'oh they never get it bloody right' and will trust them just a little bit less next time. Why can't they just 'tell it like it is'? If it's a 'knife edge' situation as many of our snow situations are, then say so. There was no mention of rain/sleet on lower ground, no probabilities, nothing. And as for the snow becoming heavier/more persistent in the west in the afternoon/evening, well what a joke that was!The snow actually became lighter and eventually fizzled out.
