Default Winter Weather 2011

Has anyone heard if we're expected to get a cold, snowy winter again this year?

Check out what the Metoffice say.............then do the opposite.

B@stards have fekked me AGAIN today. Had some work to do on the lad's Corsa, Metoffice site says clear all day, got soaked twice when it stair-rodded down

I HATE the metoffice, they are a bunch of thieves, they couldn't forecast a p1ss-up in a brewery

Of course

They can't get the weather right for the next day, so won't trust their forecast for a few months time.

I use Exactaweather,i have always found them to be pretty accurate

They predict that we are going to have a bad winter,snow as early as October. Extreme cold in Scotland and major disruption..

Have a read...

You've mentioned twice, in this thread, that Aberdeen doesn't need a forecast. I don't live in Aberdeen, as I'm sure many other other people don't. We might like a forecast.

The time frame for a accurate forecast is too far out.

You don't need any Meteorological doofa to know the weather - just ask speye91.

He got it just about bang on last year.

I like your attitude to the Met Office.... feel the same way... why do they even exist as you would get a more accurate forecast by just guessing.
