Are the seemingly constant changes to forecasts, sometimes just hours
ahead, being caused by the fact that the Met Office very rarely has to
cope with predicting snowfall? I would guess that the same event in
summer, under similar environmental dynamics, would lead to forecasts
of heavy thundery rain - some places would get a deluge, others less
so, though people would not bat an eyelid because they would just be
happy to know that there was a "chance of heavy rain".
Does the fact that there are now far fewer official met office
observers also play a part?

Sorry Scott I got all hot and steamy .I thought you said Erotic
