After watching this, I'm not convinced we've actually had "snow" yet. 8-)

According to Piers Corbyn, we are due to get hit again (mainly in the South) between Christmas Day and the end of December. He's been right about winter so far.

For contrast, the Met Office forecast is here:

Who will be more accurate?  :-/

Well, it's the 28th and it was 8 degrees here today, forecast 9 tomorrow and well above freezing until the 2nd.

One for science I reckon?

Corbyn is actually an astrophysicist, so therefore a scientist.

His prediction for the UK did not materialise, as the Scandinavian anticyclone gave way over the UK, but Europe is still being hit by snowfall. He apparently correctly forecast the US blizzards. I understand he currently enjoys 85% accuracy or thereabouts.

whereas the Met Office hits 90% accuracy or thereabouts for general forecasting 



trouble is theres a common misconception that the Met Office definitively state what the weather will be - they never do.
So predicting a mild winter means there was something like a 65% chance of a mild winter based on thousands of computer models 


like i said earlier, i'll stick with the Met - they're the best there is
