Hi folks well according to todays papers were in for a few weeks of wintry weather accross the whole of britain,lets see shall we.

In reply to blackcat:

Read actual weather forecasts instead of papers.

In reply to Milesy:

Supplement that by following the met office blog for a few months. You'll get a good feel for the number of posts they make that are 'the newspaper ran xyz weather story, but there's no evidence for this.'

I dont even bother with the papers at all. Don't read em but things like The Big Freeze and The Beast from the East really annoy me.

In reply to Milesy:

Who (or what?!) on earth is that?

In reply to Mark Bannan: Beast from the east, was a rather naughty weather system that was suposed to bring use Sibirian weather from Russia. The papers made a realy big fuss about it but it never made it hear as the papers were saying. This subjects a is one of my pet hates see thread I started today, and dont even get me started on the unnessersery over use of road and traffic signs that blight our streets

In reply to blackcat: The 'winter' has been here for a long time... the cold weather on the other hand, is almost no where to be seen, it might just change!

In reply to blackcat: Contrast-

Cheers for that! Here's me thinking it was another name for Ivan the Terrible (the Russian wrestler in the old Billy Connolly sketch)!

In reply to Russell Lovett:

Quite mild in Siberia this year....

In reply to A Game of Chance: quite mild in Siberia. If you read that in a news paper don,t believe it.

In reply to Russell Lovett:

Best weather related sign I saw was on the motorway, one of the small, diamond shaped orange LED signs that said fog. The only reason I could see it was because the fog has cleared, possibly the most pointless sign in the world.
