They can't predict the correct weather a week ahead, so how can they tell us what the winter will be like???

I bought some snow boots yesterday, this winter will therefore be extremely mild

Given that they're utterly incapable of telling you in the morning what it will be doing in the afternoon, this kind of ridiculous scaremongering is quite hilarious really. Though some will believe it and probably run out and panic buy assorted crap they don't need.

In retrospect, I should probably have gone for the XT225...

Meh. Far greater threat to us all is the average Brits attitude to snow and inability to survive a light dust of sleet. Combined of course with alarmist papers screaming like headless chickens. Bring on the snow. My commutes nice and quick when everyone pussies out and stays off work.

Cheers

The people I trust say a bit cold and wet through November and December, nothing particularly horrific other than another winter in the UK.

Don't they predict this every year?

Now THAT is snow

[c_dug]

I wonder if I attached skis on framework attached to my crash bars could I ride the bike through thick snow, skid-pan stylee.

Annoyingly I live within feet of an Underground station that goes directly to where I work, but generally if the roads are that bad that I can't ride then the trains aren't running anyway!

You could do this.

But yes, on the crash bars should work.

Hmmm....

I think it's just a standard headline they roll out around this time every year to sell papers, and on the off chance it's actually snowy that year.

And if they do get it right this year, it doesn't really bother me. I've got knobblies on the KLE and my route into london gets gritted every year anyway.
