    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.

    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 and the way the article was building it up.

        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

    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.

    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
