Snow

Metcheck and the Met Office are forecasting a cold blast next week, with quite widespread snow and frosts.

That was a short spring/summer wasn't it?

Hmmm this is the same Met Office/Metcheck that was forecasting heavy snow about 6 weeks ago... seen heavier frosts than the snow we did get!

I have become deeply sceptical of their mid/long range forcasting accuracy over recent years.

I rate Metcheck, they seem to be more accurate than most....

Its started here - very windy and forced me indoors for the day. Huge sized chunks of real snow.

Got 3 inches along the ridge at back door but the garden is DRY !!

Its starting and stopping every ten minutes but when it comes on for a decent amount of time ( forcast later today) im gonna be stuck.

Hmm is that good or bad  :-/
