The Met Office website says a band of wet weather over western parts of the United Kingdom on Saturday morning will move slowly east and southeastwards across the United Kingdom during the day. As it does so it will readily turn to sleet and snow away from western and southwestern coastal areas giving accumulations of 2-5cm in places and 5-10cm widely across parts of central and eastern England. So there may be snow further inland.

That is not what they forecast yesterday and early this morning.
Though there is generally a 3 centigrade difference in temperature between Accy and Blackpool it does not always apply.
Blackpool was almost deserted this morning while we were out delivering. Because of the warning, people stayed at home and businesses who rely on trade throughout the winter have suffered the consequences of the Met Office's panic.
It seems to me like they cannot get the forecast right until it is actually happening - pathetic.
