Hi

Maybe setting myself up here but.

Since those storms in the south, you know the no way the is storm force winds coming ( 1980's i think) the flippen met office seem to totally over est any bad weather coming our way.

Anyone else noticed this.

Steve

Ps expecting a few small snow showers at the most in Cumbria.even if the met office says loads on the way

FASTER MIKE!!

Here here. Makes me laugh that just the prospect of snow finds its way onto all the news bulletins! Seems even the idea of a bit of thw white stuff is enough to bring this country to a standstill

Ever since the Hurricane of 87, they are **** scared of being criticised, so they always predict the worst.

They have issued a weather warning.

Also most of the big stores think something's on the way. They are stocked up with antifreeze, heaters, duvets and anything else they can think of, that is associated with cold weather.

Maybe setting myself up here

Been looking at the BBC online weather every day since Friday, on Friday they forecast the minimum temperature would be -8 where I live on Monday and now they forecast only -1. Hmmm a bit of a ***** up me thinks, I think they are slowly trying to change their story it’s going to be a bit nippy but no ware near as cold as they say.

Mickey Mouse (local) news here ran a story at lunchtime on how people are stockpiling food in preparation for The Big Freeze. In Southampton!!!!! The last place it ever snows! Oh dear oh dear oh dear

stephen emery

LOL

me thinks the supermarkets must be sponsering the met office

Just another area where the UK proves itself to be a f**king joke.

I spent last week working at Iceland's head office. A lot of stores have been ordering salt as they reckon all the old people come in and buy loads when it gets cold.

All the stores were issued a weather warning telling them to keep an eye on the car park and store entrance etc.

No reports of panic buying though...

FASTER MIKE!!

it'll snow alright i've given my car a good clean out and i'll put money on it snowing if mr emery says he's washed/cleaned his car

David_Dickson:

Sat by the window, you don't feel the cold?? That's cos your'e in Scotland, you don't know what warmth is! We go to Scotland every year in the summer,just to cool down!!

What are you:

A professional snowman maker or gritter driver?

If you are a gritter driver, why do you guys have such a big smile on your face when you are approaching our P1? Is it something to do with seeing a grown man cry?

Well I am very much in the cynical mode, although at the wifes insistence I did put spade, boots and coat in the car. Thats a cast iron certainity to ensure it doesn't snow!
