7hrs of heavy snow anounted to 1 inch.
And I am serious about the last year. I've got soaked several times when it was supposed to be dry and humped waterproofs around due to forecast rain that doesn't materialise. Seen warnings for strong winds and it's a bit blowy. Out the following day with no warnings and nearly got blown off my feet. Grumpy today .
I let the cat out tonight. I was gonna give her a 10-minute head start and was looking forward to following her footprints to find out where she disappears to. Fat chance of that! Two minutes in the garden, decided she didn't like the snow, came straight back in and started shaking the snow off her feet and onto my floor.
But, no despite the metoffice predicting hours and hours of heavy snow for most of the the last couple of days (including an amber warning today and betweeen 50 and >95% chance of precipitation for most of the day) there is currently an inch (maybe slightly more but I'm not going go out there to measure cos they're right about the temperature. It''s close to freezing, one side or the other).
I just find this weather hyperbole unhelpful."The beast from the east 2". How is that a helpful presentation of information?

Last night, I was going out to smoke in a flipping blizzard with no ashtray to drop my cigarette butts in, because it was blown away, along with the 100 cigarette butts in it. What a waste of time dropping my butts in the container when I could have just chucked them on the street.
Winds have calmed down now but I reckon the beast from the east will be followed by the wanker from the west at the end of the month. It's just a question of what the Met office want to call it.
