Metcheck, the once useful forecasting site, claimed we'd have 15+cm overnight, bloody 'tards. For once, the beeb forecast was right.

I've noticed the reliability of Metcheck has gone right down hill over the last 9 months or so >:(

It was reasonably accurate last winter but this year has been shockingly poor! >:(

The upwind radar can be useful though :y

Trouble is I don't/can't trust it any more. Thus I ignored its snow predictions, and still planned to set off pre 10am (ie, once rush hour has fully died down). Had I believed it, I would have rung the Outlaws and suggested later in day to give roads chance to be cleared a bit.
