What's your weather like today?....3

Apparently there has been widespread disatisfaction with the inaccuracies of the UK Met Service .... especially in not forecasting this last cold snap. Reporters travelling with Prince William on his visit to NZ and Australia have said that they're even considering having the NZ Met Service contract for coverage of the UK. Apparently the graphics used on weather broadcasting sites in the UK are all NZ originated.

Chilly and breey, with a few stray cloud left over from the storm we had Thursday.  Sunny days til Wednesday, when we're due for more rain, then a few days of sun and more storms next weekend.  It's a pretty typical weather pattern for this time of year as the storms line up across the Pacific.

The storm on Thursday had very tragic circumstances, when a couple tried to drive through a flooded wash to take their 6-year old son to the hospital because of illness, but the car got stuck and the child was swept away.  They have yet to recover his body.  Please pray for the family.

take what 'reporters' say with tounge in cheek, Kuhu. The UK weather service is second to none. It's the 'wallies' that attempt to report it in the press and media that sensationalize it to make up a storey.

The Uk has four seasons, always had four seasons and always will, (sometimes in one day lol). At the moment we are in our winter season, that means cold, wet and possibly snow. If we get sunny days at this time of year (and we do) its a pleasant bonus. If you dont like it, dont blame the weather, blame yourself or head south like the wild geese do, but stop whinging and get over it, it'll still be the same when you are pushing up daisies.

Snow on the horizon, hopefully it will hold off until we've made our trip to the city. Ideally, I hope it stays up in the mountains, pleases the skiers, pleases me.

I'll be back on Tuesday.
