- We read the weather headlines of the UK's national papers and keep the ones that say snow is coming.
- We find what each headline claims: where, and when.
- We compare the claim with our snow forecast for those places and days, and with the Met Office snow warnings.
- The result is about the claim, not the paper. More than about a week ahead, no forecast is reliable, so we say it is too early to tell.
