Weather Warning

A cynical person might think it's a way of encouraging a bit of splurge spending to boost the economy.

100 DAYS OF HEAVY SNOW: Britain now facing worst winter in SIXTY YEARS warn forecasters
LONG-RANGE weather forecasters have warned that Britain should prepare for heavy and persistent snow for up to THREE MONTHS with winter 2013 set to be the worst in more than 60 years.

Which forecasters vegboi?

if I may quote the BBC:
"The weather beyond about a week ahead stretches even the most experienced weather forecaster. Complex numerical weather forecast models from the Met Office and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) are run many times for the month (and season) ahead to build up a picture of the likelihood of different weather types affecting the UK"

I think T3sco has got shares in this story as they have surplus sledges to off load.............every little helps.

I think it's just people panic predicting 'cos the sun is flipping it's magnetic field right now. But that happens about every 11 years, so nothing to bother anyone (except the occasional spaceman maybe)

Make an apex roof with canes & pots.

Why does it say 17/10/11 under the heading?......................

Cos the forecast is the same every year ?
Weather forecasts and horoscopes have the same effect on me. I read them and instantly forget them, preferring to look out of the window to check for clouds or UFOs

I remember the winter of 62/63 aka Big Freeze of 1963.

That's the year my parents took me to Blackpool and the sea was so frozen I was able to walk on it!!!

( oh-and yeh...it WAS winter..and not our summer holidays peeps!)

Thanks for the warning,the shops will now run out of everything,as peeps panic in the run up,all we can hope for in any bad situation is,it bringing the best out of peeps to help one another,we will have do what we can,with what we got,we WILL survive as those that have gone before us,and they had LESS than we do today,do not panic

Well put, people will undoubtedly start panic buying esp with run up to Xmas to compound things.

My Gran used to say were the weathers concerned you can only guarantee it will go dark at night time.

Another good take on forecasting the weather is that "tomorrow's weather will be largely similar to today's"
