  1. I am Scottish, moved to England when I was 11. As a kid I witnessed copious amounts of snow and frozen pipes every year. I cannot remember my parents saying "Brace yourself, going to be a..."

    I suppose everything is soo PC these days, health and safety is paramount. I wonder what the UKMO would say about the -30 temps in the Ukraine with metres of snow drifts.

    They would have to make a new scale, amber doesn`t really cut it in the scheme of things. I know we opted out of joining the Euro and I bet the met office is pleased that we do not have their problem either.

    You hit the nail on the head.

  2. Remember Dec 2010, the UKMO issued an emergency warning for East Anglia at midday on the same day it dumped the most snow I have seen in years. This really is that close to call imo, inflated warnings or a retraction. Scared to see tomorrow`s forecast. Yes I am after snow.

    It seems these days that there is a warning for every thing, posible 2cm of snow and a warning goes out, the press heavy snow comming the world is going to end,the met have issued a red,orange or yellow warning talk about cry wolf. We did not have this sort of thing in the 80's it is winter it is cold and gets windy from time to time thats what winter is. Are we all to blame for all these warnings and the way things are now? yes we are because when it is bad and we dont think the warnings are at the right level/right time we all moan and complain.
