Once again METCHECK has come up with a corker - they've forecast heavy snow for the cleveland, north east england area on 21st November! They do like to give us a laugh don't they!!!!!!

I take it you are talking about the automated forecasts which have barely any accuracy at that time scale anyway?

[guitarnutter]

why do they bother forecasting more than 5 days ahead, because they are never even 1% right?

well about that time last year the welsh moutains had heavy snow(4 inches+)-we got married on the 26th and the horse & carriage people had to cancel! The snow had actually all gone by the 26th though! (started on the 24th)

Sure they have dublin 10% more chance of snow then cairngorm on christmas day???????????

[tom_f123]

whos to say that wont happen

[snowmadchrisuk]

well metchecks white christmas seems to suggest that devon has a higher chance of a white christmas than the scottish highlands and the midlands. Nothing to do with the fact that thats where metcheck is based is it hee

i guess so

Take most of Metchecks automated crap with a pinch of salt. You should be able to interpret the charts yourself and have an idea of the weather that way than Met checks "interesting" forecasts.

What made me laugh is that a local Radio station called it a ''winter storm''
