John,
Use this :-
http://www.forecast.co.uk/
It is the most accurate I have come across and there are "apps" for mobile phones. ( the app thingy I have on an android lets you "localise" the forecast and store differnet locales.
It is updated regularly and changes. You can scroll through the maps and get a better idea of what is happening. Much more accurate than the BBC.
I use it to predict what gear to put out and take with me for commuting on the bike. Nothing worse than being over or under dressed!

We never get snow...

Mmmm! Global warming - this has been replaced with "Climate change"
In the UK it is used as a method to make us pay more taxes!

jeez Bob, that's a bunch of snow, took a photo today on my way into work of the snow accumulation, but nothing compared to what a couple feet look like.

It ain't all Roses Johnny! Here in OK it may be nice, but the wind makes it interesting. Every other day we get a new front come in.

Wow.
Here in Ohio they say if you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes. It'll change.
Seriously though, all the snow I HAD a few days ago is gone except where it is mounded up. I was considering trying to fly some yesterday, but didn't. Today is just too cold again.

Heh. 3+ inches of snow a couple days ago left a 12 inch drift in my driveway with the grass still showing (I like my new snow blower)
Today it was over 50F and I was able to prime several models outside. They are hanging in the garage now needing sanded for another layer of primer.
Wild weather.

Well after a short period of spring, the winter gets back today 
Last week we had around 20°C (68°F for our american friends
). Yesterday the thermometer falls under -3°C (26,6°F) and it begins to snow which causes a 300km (186 Miles) traffic jam in my area 
.
But the P40 is allways ready

60F+ yesterday, and the day before...snowing right now
I don't expect accumulation but really... No jacket needed one day, freezing the next?
