Gosh - snow in excess of 1ft....!!!

LOL

If we get a 2cm these days that makes the headlines!"!"

Ian McCaskill, Bill Giles and John Kettley always had a certain tension in their voice when forecasting severe weather.

global climate change vs...... media

"a shadow of sunshine" ?

[richardsweden]

I like that - one temperature for the whole of the UK

[ADugaldF]

That's nothing compared to what we had in Yorkshire last winter. We 50cm of snow an all time low of -20 and a day when the temperature didn't rise above -15.

[BeaverCreekHome]

We have 60 cm already and there´s more on the way !!

@Jedbickers Thats because the dicks from the news and weather seem to think that South East because it is home to London...is the only area of the country that will see bad or glorious weather. Always tends to be exaturated for London.

lol this forecast was wrong in regards to snow. Francis has the south east as getting the most snow when in fact it was yorkshire! were i live 10 miles NW of leeds we got 25 inches! Yes just over 2 foot!

@jamesbaileyuk He quite obviously means a rain (or in this case snow) shadow. Anyone that knows anything about weather would usually pick up the reference...

[JFredUK]

He sounds really pissed off.. How the weather has changed. Now, if there's more than half a cm on the roads, it's headline news with, 'chaos', on the roads, etc. Years ago, when it was feet thick and lasted for weeks, people just got on with things and it never really made the news unless it was really, really bad.
