To be fair, I think the quality of weather forecasting has improved a lot. Remember as a kid it was commonplace to hear comments along the lines of 'weatherman says it's raining tomorrow...time to get out the sunscreen' etc. These days, when they say it's going to rain/snow/thunder, it generally does.
I'm going to retract my earlier comments. Snowing heavily here, to the point that the ground covering has gone from a light dusting to white out in the last hour. And the sky's gone dark. Metcheck has chosen this point to completely remove snowfall from its forecast. If it's like this in Swindon (and it sounds as if it is), no football today I think. |

Travelled down last night, looks like we're going to be stuck in Chippenham now.
Nightmare. Took me three years to get out of there  |

Its knee deep out here in Brinkworth and the local weathergirls on ITV and BBC have just offered completely different forecasts for the same local area... so I've just suggested to the wife that they should fight it out over whos forecast is right.. preferably with bikini's and mud involved. She didnt think the idea was a winner.

It isnt -7!
Of course it isn't! I was being dramatic. (Although on checking, The metcheck website does say it's -7 this morning, -5 afternoon and then -7 evening, so my drama wasn't too far wrong - shockingly.) Edit: No it doesn't my drama is wrong, they're saying that's what it feels...  |

The Lime Kiln sports centre here in Bassett is currently on fire. Apparently the sauna caught fire - Is there some irony in there somewhere???..............
