" LONDON, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Severe weather warnings were posted
Thursday for eight regions in Britain as blizzards swept across the
North Sea, The Times of London reported.
Scotland was particularly hard hit Wednesday, but
forecasters said Thursday should be the worst of the week's cold
snap throughout Britain.
Train service throughout most of England and Scotland has
been in disarray for several days due to snow and icing, and while
most major highways were moving slowly, many secondary roads were
impassable. "

(have most train services been in 'disarray'?)

Obviously the wrong kind of wet snow / sleet / rain / snow pellets on
the tracks

A radio station called TalkSPORT the other morning had a massive rant
about standards of driving in light to moderate snow showers, or slushy
stuff that central london tends to get, unless the temp is really below
freezing. If there was any truth to what i heard, probably just as
well, a big snow event did not occur today in London

You know i'm thinking about the field day that Bond and Gaze would have
had, if the Met O had gone for drizzle / sleet

and we'd had a big snow event today.

People are firing crap at the Met O - but was i imagining a fair bit of
ramping going out by Mr Bond yesterday?

I caught a couple posts of people saying they will pay attention to
sites like TWO from now on

LOL now that did bring a smile to my face.
It wasn't just a few posters on TWO that doubted events this week

The severe winter did not happen this year, maybe they will believe it
will happen next year, when a 3/4 month forecast is issued on Dec 1st
2005

See how hard it is to get the current 3 to 4 day forecast right? Now
think about three months of weather
This is silly !!
