Seems 24hrs is a long time in weather forecasting in the UK. We had days of hullabaloo (have i just invented a word?) about the fact that it was going to snow on Thursday and we coped marvelously for a change! The schools were closed and the roads gritted and everyone got to work and back again without any problems what-so-ever, hurrah! The weather forecast for friday was equally consistent throughout the week - dry, i.e. not snowing. Unfortunately, someone forgot to tell mother nature and friday afternoon we had a heavier spell of snowfall than the day before!!! The roads weren't gritted and the entire city ground to a halt... I have arrived at work today to tales of 4hr journeys home that should have taken 20mins...and do you think there is any mention on www.bbc.co.uk of their failure to accurately forecast the weather? Of course not...!
But I'm remaining positive! No Mr Negative here! The trains were running on time and despite a few worrying moments driving home from the station I reached my abode in good time! Within two days the snow has gone and the world is back to its crazy, loveable self! :-)

Don't blame Auntie Beeb - it's the Met Office's fault. The BBC just uses the Met Office's info. I'm still annoyed about the four hour, ten mile drive home!
