I think people are generally fed up with the express and it's 'worst November in 40 years' predictions and '100 days of snow' forecast. Talking about a specific event a few days before it happens is no big deal.
What, four months of snow?

Not really, they massively exaggerated what we are going to be getting. They said 100mph winds which wont happen.
Still, wheres all this snow they predicted ?

Yes, I agree with you they over exaggerate everything and too be honest I'm bloody glad we didn't have the snow but my point is this is what they meant.

Well not really, all they've done is predict crap weather for the last 2 months solid (almost every day in fact) during the season when we generally get crap weather, it stands to reason that once the inevitable crap weather turns up they then run a headline claiming credit for warning us. The express has consistently used blatantly made up forecasting from a source with no known qualifications in this field ( Jonathan Powell ), someone discredited by many professional meteorological experts. Powell immediately shut down his previous 'weather forecasting' agency when challenged about its accuracy and validity, he's a fraud plain and simple and someone clearly with some very close connections at the Express I.e Nathan Rao who is the idiot usually churning out the Express weather related doom mongering.

Ridiculous. The Express was predicting long term sub zero temperatures and corresponding blizzards for three months. Which has obviously not arrived even for a week. A particularly aggressive low pressure system can be spotted 3 or 4 days away from getting to the UK and is considerably easier to "predict " as er, it already exists ! The only doubts are about the exact ferocity.
So then, a big hat's off to The Express for that ? this from a rag that was confidently re-predicting a white Christmas on Saturday !

The Express is a recurring joke in the meteorology community.

Don't do a VRE or there would then be a body on the line and that would shut the whole network down for 5 days.
P.S. I watched it about a month ago on some channel or other.
