Um, yesterday's Farmlands forecast for Southland said:talbotm15 wrote:Interesting evening ahead. Snow to 200m for me in canterbury. Looks to be a decent amount of moisture around in inland canterbury too. I noticed no one forecast snow below 200m in the deep south yet snow has been reported as low as 50msl. As usual M/S were over conservative. They have put an extra update out because they got caught with there pants down Again. Farmers surely wont be happy. I think they would prefer to see a report slighty over the top and it doesnt happen rather than get caught out.

That's something new. MS has been the other way since June 2006 after they were caned by every man and his dog for failing to foresee how widespread that snow would be.talbotm15 wrote:As usual M/S were over conservative.
There you go: MS just can't win, no matter what they forecast.They have put an extra update out because they got caught with there pants down Again.
There's a shock... Farmers not happy about something.Farmers surely wont be happy.
Nope. MS will be criticized for it, just as they will be for not doing it.I think they would prefer to see a report slighty over the top and it doesnt happen rather than get caught out.
