'Yep, think I'll get mine out too...'

I like netweather. It's very specific - unlike eg the BBC who just give the "predominant" weather - and usually quite accurate for 24-48 hours ahead (ignore the 8-16 day nonsense, it generally says rain just to be on the safe side )

AMumInScotland · 20/05/2008 09:49

None of them! Where I live (up a hill in central Scotland) we get our own weather. I haven't found anything better than looking out of the window yet

Walnutshell · 20/05/2008 09:42

what I would be interested in knowing (!) is which weather forecast people find most reliable. I check bbc (FREQUENTLY wrong) and weather bugs.

I too am saddo

AMumInScotland · 20/05/2008 09:41

Ah yes, I imagine snow is rather rare there!

PeaGreene · 19/05/2008 21:55

LOL Nighbynight, at this time of year maybe that would a bit extreme here in Cardiff,

Idobelieveinfairies · 19/05/2008 21:51

Jersey! (which has far too much sunshine and not enough snow IMHO!)

Nighbynight · 19/05/2008 21:46

peagreene, we can still see snow from our upstairs windows!

AMumInScotland · 19/05/2008 21:43

I just popped over to the 'bar' and have been supping on my pint of sherry to numb the mocking backlash.

i agree....it never snows here either!!!! we always get excited as very rarely there will be a snowflake hovering above us...and then a few hours later the snow symbol turns to rain......it used to snow here years ago....the whole island would come to a standstill..schools would be closed, police warnings not to go out..it was great!

but snow's always soooo exciting and I'm always so very jealous and hopeful. But then where I live, it doesn't snow...

Grublin · 19/05/2008 21:24

According to my met office weather gadget on my laptop, it's saying 10.3 down here tonight.

Nighbynight · 19/05/2008 21:23

Oh come on, it would just be full of people saying "its snowing here"

Idobelieveinfairies · 19/05/2008 21:22

2!!!!! ..i do prefer the cold!

PeaGreene · 19/05/2008 21:22

I started a weather thread today. Not sure it warrants a whole section or are you trying to do away with us???
