It's snowing

And even if there is snow it's very unlikely to be a blizzard. In almost 30 years of living in the south east I've seen something that could be considered a blizzard about twice. The only places you're likely to actually see a blizzard are in the highlands and uplands.
The term blizzard is reserved for very low visibility and high winds, not just a couple of inches falling over a few hours!

doubt we'll even see a flake in the sky to be honest, rubbish place to live if you like a bit of snow.

You might be right about flakes, last snow I can recall hanging around a while was four years ago, but we've had a few chaotic encounters with ice in the last ten years.

yeah, 4 years ago was pretty decent down here, think it was like 4 or 5 inches in our garden. Apart from that, I think you have to go back more than 10 or 15 years for the last decent snow fall of any note.
awesome site. Booked marked that one
Appears to be quite inaccurate though, so I wonder if it's just a awesome looking experiment. I like it none the less.
Getting to work this morning was a nightmare. I woke up late, so off to a terrible start - then I find the milk has gone off. Brilliant. So I have black coffee instead which doesn't agree with me. The major issue though, was it took 30 minutes to fit the snow chains and winter tyres to my car, so I was late for work before I even set off.
Then to top off a truly awful morning, there was not a single flake of snow in sight. Thanks weatherman.

You drove to work with snow chains fitted even though there was no snow
I feel that that post is so firmly tongue in cheek that there's a danger the tongue will go through the cheek.

For a lot of the country the forecast was for late afternoon/evening today - though last I checked the models were showing it coming down to the wire with temperatures 1-2C too high.
