[The Met Office Got It Wrong]

Regarding the last snowfall event here in Mid Devon the Met Office didn't predict the blizzard we had here. I stayed up all night watching the snowfall and the wind was up to severe strength at times. The wind caused several trees to fall over our area. In the local press the Met Office said that there was thunder in the storm on Friday morning. I can say there was not any as i had my lightning detector on. Another thing is the MO did not put the southwest on a red (take action) alert. Surely with every road cut off this should have been.

Anyway we did have the heaviest snowfall here since 1978 with drifts up to 8ft deep.

Hopefully the MO will predict the next blizzard on Monday night.
