Oh dear! an inch of sleety snow causes the airport to close. It's a good job we are not in Iceland (financial problems apart ). It's not as if they didn't know it was coming. Mind you the Official Met Office Forecast for my area bearing in mind I am less than 2 miles from an official weather station bore absolutely no relation to what actually happened. I looked at a Dutch site with precipitation and wind direction and speed sites and it was spot on to within 20minutes. Good job weathermen are not paid by results or Bob Johnson would be busking in the Dundas Arcade in Middlesbrough.
That's if he could find a space between MME senior management.
