In Aberdeen, maybe, but not here

Yesterday, under threat of a deep freeze running to and past the coming weekend, I looked out a pair of clunky snow boots to be ready for trips to shops today. So what happened? A deluge of rain yesterday, which wiped away all the snow, leaving just a few liquid puddles to negotiate today.
    I am now left thinking the Met Office must be as full of fantasists as the looney Left gang in the Treasury.
