Does anyone else get fed up with the perpetual weather "warnings". Back in 1700 when I was a little girl we could occasionally have frosty and chilly weather and a bit of snow without any warnings and without buying every last loaf of bread from Morrisons.
I'm just waiting for air raid sirens to be installed so the met office can tell us when it's going to be a bit damp.
Are they grooming us for the apocalypse or what? I do get fed up with it.

Yes
and all the other alarmist new items

I don't mind a proper weather forecast - but I hate the way the media spreads alarm and despondency about everything

Oh no Verdun, that's awful news.

I can't believe that Verdun, that's just scaremongering.
I feel a bread buying binge coming on.
This year they have "named" storms. Next year (I have it on good authority
) every low that crosses the Atlantic will be named according to strength of predicted intensity eg Abigail1, Abigail 2. Brian 1. Brian 2. Brian 3. Christobel 1. Christobel 2 - well, you get the picture. Gawd help us when they get to Zaccharia 10! (Time to build an ark).
I never believe the dire warnings, prefer to use a proven weather forecasting service. The one I use has been very accurate. It helps me plan my clients gardens.
I take more notice of the weather forecast now I'm retired than I ever did when I was going to work. Back then I had to go out whatever the weather and do the washing at the weekend rain or shine. Now I'm lucky enough to be able to choose so can cope with the thought that winter will last until spring. It's still a bit of a scary idea though. It wasn't like that in the old days
