Mild sector was forecast by the models... Hence the blue over your area. Yes but a couple of days ago it was definately saying it was going to stay South of the M4, what happened? Anyway, looking at the map you posted, I do not see where the 40 cm the BBC are talking about at Ainley Top is coming from as it shows only sleet in Huddersfield. Are the Beeb simply wrong? They have sent their local (Hull) minor celebrity weatherman, Paul Hudson, there to witness the event! I love weather but sometimes I am left completely flummoxed and this is one of those times. Paul Hudson was on Radio 4 at about 17:30...only a couple of hours ago. Tony
