Did you see the "Countryfile" forecast? Do you know that they got it wrong?
Perhaps I got it wrong? Unlike yourself, I'm not perfect enough to remember
the *exact* wording from a week ago. They did (whatever term they used)
forecast structural damage and severe disruption to transport last Sunday -
which *IS* what we got.

Remember that, like many other organisations, the railways pay for
far more detailed weather forecasts than are given on the
television. These are usually very accurate and the railways seem to
have done what was possible to deal with the weather. I'm sure
nearly everyone would have liked more to be possible, but there are
limits to the money and staff that are available. I also doubt if
anyone would like to go back to the era of several staff deaths
keeping trains running at normal speeds in bad weather.
