I really do wonder if the Met Office et al look out the bloody window.
At 0700hr's the Met Office forecast shown that it would be pissing down here all morning. At 0930 Sky weather said the snow may reach London and even touch on the South Downs, this 30 seconds after they'd just announced that Newbury Races were off due to the snow

We now have about 35 - 40mm of snow on the ground and it's still bloody snowing.
