  Fuck off with these TERRIBLE SNOW forecasts then putting

  "As much as 5mm and 10mm is anticipated in the North East, which will be the worst-hit and see the brunt of the downturn in conditions. "

  Fuck

  Off

  Talking in mm like it’s gonna be loads of fucking snow.

  Clickbait cunts

    Yeah, I thought I was misreading when it said 5-10mm. I was hoping for 2010 levels of snow with that headline.

      It’s been getting this way for a while. It’s getting to the point where we’re having SNOWSTORM predictions every week, and when you have a read it’ll be a little flurry overnight.

      So I guess we just ignore weather warnings now because they’ll most likely just be clickbait

  Is weather predictable and reliable 10 days out anywhere? We just had a snow storm that left the projected path drastically 12 hours before it hit.

    No. And forecasts of snow are barely reliable 10 hours out.

    Is that the yellow warning from last Thursday that didn’t happen? I was SO looking forward to it and bugger all happened! 😂

  Sites like Birmingham Mail know they can get lots of clicks cherry-picking outlier forecast models, so they can run alarmist click bait headlines.

  They do it again and again

    Typical monstrous Brummies being all like “yow alright”.

      Oh, I'm not going to blame it on the Brummies. It's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reach_plc Reach's business model, they are a tiny cog.

  On a tangential note: got caught out be it saying “next Saturday” is the 24th. I know that this is common terminology, but to me next feels like it means soonest, and I know I’m not the only one.

  No one can forecast snow in the UK unless it's already snowing.
