Yesterday evening and again this morning the bbc national and local news carried dire warnings of Snow heading for us from the Irish sea. I looked at the charts and they covered the whole of the Northwest from Cheshire to Cumbria and all points inbetween. The Met Offfice website was beside itself with dire warnings of as much as four inches of the white stuff!

And now, the weather system that was targeted as the culprit is sitting right over us and I can tell you honestly there has not fallen so much as one flake in Blackpool. A little hailstone and a lot of rain is the limit.

Is it any different in God's country? Can anyone tell me? Are you all snowed in up to the rooftops? Or, to quote Annie Lennox; "...is it raining with you?"

I know I shouldn't let it bother me but this hysterical overreaction by the BBC and the Met Office to the least change in barometric pressure is getting on my wick.

And I think that Dianne Oxbury should be put out to grass.
