Strange that BBC forecaster Carol Kirkwood has, for the last two days, forecast -12c over the weekend in areas around the snowfields, (which currently means a good chunk of The Highlands) whilst BBC Scotland are not forecasting anything above -4 or -5 for the rural spots. Such glaring discrepancies are not uncommon between our national and local BBC forecasts. Why do they differ so much?

......Actually, what's the January record for England? All the 17+ records on the Torro site are in Wales or Scotland. Has today done it?
The record high for January in England is 17.6c at Eynsford in Kent in 2003.
(Both Wales and Scotland have recorded 18+)

Yesterday, BBC weather were predicting lows of -12c overnight Sunday into Monday, and today, that has gone down to -14c.
BBC Scotland however are not predicting anything out of the ordinary - with mid single figure lows. Just how can the two differ so wildly?
