Jay wynne, what a great forecaster! "A light dusting of sleet or snow showers". What the hell is he talking about? How can you have a dusting a sleet??? Where have our proper forecasters gone? This can't even be explained by a live mistake because most forecast these days are recorded as this one was. We really need some better people forecasting, the BBC is slowly becoming the same as the ITV "forecasters"!
