What's happened to all the snow we were promised then? Where is it? Got out of my nice warm bed and looked out the window hoping I'd be greeted by a blanket of white (so I could go back to bed again) and nothing, nada, zilch... Bugger! I'll just have to go to work instead... :**:

So what is it with the Weather Wizards then? Seems to me they don't have much idea what's going to happen at all, weather-wise. Take today for instance. They've been banging on about how snow would arrive this morning and we should prepare for/expect heavy falls today for the last few days.

Yesterday afternoon even the flashy signs on the motorway were bleating on about snow and severe adverse weather; my motorway journey is only about 12 miles so it's not as though I was on the other side of the country.

Local radio has been telling us to analyse any potential journey and stay at home unless the journey is absolutely necessary.

There's even been advice on the TV to carry a shovel, sack of grit and some old carpet in the boot of the car, along with some warm dry clothes and a flask with a hot drink; sound advice no doubt if you happen to live somewhere cold where snow is a real problem. Oh no, I forgot; where snow is a ‘real problem’ they treat it as an everyday occurrence, know how to deal with it and life carries on regardless! :roll:

Now after all the warnings the day arrives and what have we got? Bugger all, that's what. Smacks of scare-mongering to me! >:XX
