Jonathan Powell, forecaster for Vantage Weather Services says Monday will be a 'whiteout everywhere'.The Daily Express forecaster who has a puerile history of getting it badly wrong loves his two minutes of fame when the Express can't find a headline about Diana or house prices.This paper lurches from bad to worse with this sort of bollocks...

I'll get me shorts and flip flops out!

Here in London they never seem to be able to cope. I remember about 3 years ago when we were snowed in and the gritting lorries ran out of grit. The Mayor also cancelled ALL the buses for a day, something which never happened even in the Blitz during the war. I hope they get it right this time.

The East coast is "in for it" i am told?.

This is a good thing, at least it's a reason to put my 4WD in to 4WD!!

If I was to place bets

Will it be a Whiteout - NO

Will some areas of the UK almost grind to a halt under less than an inch of snow - YES

I resent the term whiteout...Sounds like reverse racism at play here

If we had another war the PC brigade would object to blackout as it could be misconstrued as a BNP war cry!!

Just a dusting of snow here overnight, not even a cm.
Mains roads were totally clear just wet like rain yet both of my route options had a mile of crawling traffic for no reason hence 10+ mins late signing in at work. !shrug!
