err... what lump of precip?

Thats what i'm trying work out...NW Extra radar is showing a lump quite a way out in the N Sea that is headin in our direction, but watching radar loops, it appears that the mass of snow on the north eastern coast appears to be rotating...ie the northern side rotating clockwise and the whole mass appears to be nudging south...

Anyone have any idea what is going on? 'Cause I don't :D

Take peoples point about ignoring TV forecasts but it's a real kick in the danglys that Peter Cockroft has seen some new data to make him cry rain and not all snow, he generally likes a bit of the white stuff and since the Beeb are fed their data by the Met office then you have to be a little concerned.

Anybody know how to get rust off runners on a sledge, mines the old fashioned ones built of wood not a plastic one, we used to use candle wax to make it go faster on the runners
