Default Severe Weather Warning????

What is it with this country?

Half the population has gas guzzling 4x4's and it sounds like the Met office predicting Armageddon tomorrow.....

If you read closely the extreme weather warning it says that they are predicting 2 cm of snow. How is 2 cm of snow extreme weather in my book it is a light dusting what on earth are they on about.



2 cm of snow



Extreme snow

They are predictingThe first type not the second type how ridiculous


Even soI bet he throw is still shut down Etc etc

The country will grind to a halt tomorrow, every road will be shut due to accidents, trains will not run as the snow will be the wrong type ... may as well stay in bed all day

I have been to the supermarket and bought 14 loaves, 55 fishes, tinned goods (and some wine) along with 3 tonnes of firewood (even though I only have a gas fire)...
PANIC EVERYONE, a light sprinkling is coming
I am just taking a break from building a snow shelter under my stairs like in the book "when the wind blows"...

They probably say 'extreme' to justify the chaos it will cause.

Still waiting for snow here in the Balkans - I arrived in November when it should already have snowed - we've had none and it's now Feb and it's sunny and 16 degrees! There are crocus's outside and I'm in a t-shirt. Lovely. Wish I was at home for the snow though.

I wonder if there really will be 'severe' weather?

It is still sunny here ... (and this is usually the first place to get snow ..)

These over the top warnings have gradually got worse and worse since the great October storm of 1987 when they didn't warn us at all.
