[Mojocvh]

Err, it's winter I'd say.....st like this happens "in winter".

No need for the quasi-intellectual discussion on how their "models" are confused, a fekin waste of money!

Breaking newssssss!!!

I always think that it's the bird out of Blake's 7 doing the news when she is on
The news on BBC is full of crap and they are more interested in doing stupid articles either dumbing down or dumbing down with loads of techno babble
And that bloke with the speech impediment Peston is a total joke

[valiant]

Give it time and we'll have reports of stuck motorists,lack of gritters,travel disruption and talk of "well, they manage in Scandinavia". Oh and we must have the obligatory camera shot from a helicopter just in case we've forgotten what a snowy field or motorway looks like.

In fact, just show repeats of last year and change the dates.

Best of all, if it manages to last more than a week they run out of things to say and out comes "Is this an example of climate change?". No. It's snow in January. Get over it.

Cold snap in winter. Well I never.

Of course they did tell us that we would not get that any more. Global warming don't ya know.

[otolith]

"Climate chaos" covers all unwanted meteorological outcomes.

They need many more millions for an even more powerful computer.

Snow in winter! Global climate warming change!!!!!!!!!!!

[MarkRSi]

Nowadays we seem to be getting cold, wet summers and cold (but not freezing), wet winters. So IMO actually getting proper winter weather in winter is news to me

I thought I read some climate change bod saying that snow was a thing of the past, probably the same expert who said that East Anglia was a semi-arid zone and water was a precious and scarce resource that shouldn't be wasted on mundane tasks like washing cars.

He littered his predictions of doom with a large number of the words maybe and potential, so he did not actually say we would never see snow again despite suggesting that we would never see it and trying to terrify us by saying that our children will only ever know of snow in VR machines.

Well that is the excuse that liberal turds use anyway

Basically, the models are useless...

...the computer prediction is completely disordered. It may stay cold, it may get warmer. We do not know; in fact, anyone who tells you definitively what next week's weather will be like is whistling in the wind.

...and the cold snap is caused by 'strange, sudden stratospheric warming'.

You can see this 'strange warming', and put in into historical context here...

All this bks about 'strange' this and 'extreme' that, when it's actually perfectly normal really grinds my gears!

What on earth is the problem? It was a short filler on the weather. The 'why can't it stay average' was a joke, and an obvious one at that. The woman actually laughed when she said it. It was a nice little link to the bloke explaining why the sudden changes. Someone earlier in the post said it was snowing because it is the winter. Hmm, not sure that is the reason going by the last few winters.

There was an explanation as to why this week's temperatures will be much lower than normal. It was quasi-scientific, simplified for the expected audience.

In essence it was nothing different to what the ITN might run. Why all this picking on the BBC? The Murdochs attack the BBC so that it can get more people onto it's channels. The labour party attacked the BBC in order to get Murdoch on their sides and Cameron has done exactly the same. The Daily Mail attacks the BBC in every issue (probably) because it owns a sizeable proportion of ITV.

The BBC produces superb programmes. BBC 4 is a gem but not everyone wants to watch it so it has to interest others, hence the little filler.

Just to clarify: the weather is not a leftish plot sprung by the BBC to force everyone to vote labour.
