what paper's that? i'm trying to that the article

A friend of mine works on the railways, they get a long range forecast and this cold weather was due towards the end of this month along with heavy snow...not sure of the accuracy to be honest!

Regards

Matt

We've got hail showers forecast for today.  Time to see how the g/h holds up.   :-\

I've been waiting all week to get out there and do some digging.  Not much chance of that, absolutely cats and dogs and blowing a gale atm.

:'(

Newspapers spouting utter sensationalist nonsense as usual, 3 day forecast is roughly 70% accurate, 2 months....ha

this is true....but then surely they can only go by what the met office says?

i remember a month or two ago the met office released a statement saying we're going to have a mild and wet winter.

and last Winter was going to be dreadful...

::)

I also read somewhere we were to have -14ºC at the end of this month ::) I'd better consider protecting my tree ferns :o ;D

They cant get the weather right the next day let alone Feb March.

                   May the corn be with you.

I don't take any notice of long-range forecasts. At the moment they seem to be vacillating between mild and wet (we still need the wet) and cold. We've had brief spells of those sort of temperatures before; it was unpleasant at the time, but it soon passed. Last time it happened, rabbits came up the railway to the site, and devastated my parsnips. That was in early April if I remember right. Late spring that year, but things soon caught up.

Typical Daily Express. They said the same thing last year. They seem to be obsessed by Extreme weather and the Princess Diana Coverup. I'm waiting for them to say that MI5 created the hole in the ozone layer just to do the poor woman in

I am more worried about the fact that i have had to sleep in the office twice due to snow. I was going to put the cold winter bags in the car a the end of the month but i might just bring that forward!

I also remember the weather 'forecasters' saying that August was going to be hotter than July this year, and look what happened there!

we go out and look up, best way to get a forecast  :D

Yes, couldn't agree more

I remember the last time it snowed on a weekday round there 'ere parts (2003) my 45 minute journey took 5 hours (london traffic and a huge inability of the majority of road users to drive effectively in slush ::)).  I've since moved another 15 miles up the dual carriage way with no side roads to mention (due to the flood plain).  The weather reports are watched with horrified fascination and I try to wangle the use of the 4x4 if snow is due. 

We can't sleep in the office - it's in one of the roughest areas of east london, the central heating will go off, there's a crack in the wall by my desk that lets in a draught and some daylight and I may have to socialise with my managers... :o :-X. 

I just hope that the snow is forecast for weekends only!! ;D

i dont mind if its feb/march so much just booked the last week in feb off :-)

I have hardly used any holiday this year ( might explain my knackeredness ) so i have carried over 5 days to next year :-)

more allotment time!

When the Met office cannot even get the CURRENT weather conditions correct, what chance do they have of 3 months ahead. The other day I happened to catch the Weather forecast. The female type person announced gleefully that the Satellite picture showed clear skies over the whole of our region, so we should go out and enjoy it if we could. Great, except that there was not a blue piece of sky to be seen anywhere outside and it was raining arrows and spears as they say in France. One wonders where the Satellite aiming its cameras, definitely not here!

the forcast here are not usualy that wrong

Just taken one of the boys' friends home... it is still 10C out there!
::)
