I FIND it baffling how the media over-react to weather forecasting (Helen Mead, Monday).

Was it the winter of 63 when we had 5ft snow drifts? The lady next door was only 4ft 11ins and it was spring before we found her!

We could have reality weather forecasting and vote the forecaster off. Better still get a celebrity to do it, though it would be difficult to come to terms with Jordan telling us there's a warm front due.
