And I'm beginning to freeze, I've got icicles hanging from my knees

Recently, a colleague who comes from a family of meteorologists has been explaining to me how the only reliable weather forecaster is the Met Office. People like the BBC lift their forecasts directly from the Met Office's predictions. Metcheck, he tells me, get their data from the Met Office, but use their own models and are unreliable.

I actually think Metcheck is more reliable than the the Met Office. On Sunday night, having seen the TV weather forecast, we hastily changed our plans and on Monday we fled south before the threatened snow arrived. The Met Office said snow, snow, snow. Metcheck said pshaw, just a bit of rain.

An sms from the mother this morning confirms that Metcheck was indeed correct. Bother.

Anyway, I'm ignoring meteorologicalTim for now and trusting Metcheck.

( Which makes me quite scared about what's going to happen on Wednesday... )
