Little update for you from an excellent forecaster on my uk.sci.weather newsgroup. His post today below makes interesting reading!

------------------------------------------------------------------

"From Wednesday onwards Britain will come under the grip of an unusually cold and snowy spell of weather for the time of year. Widespread snow over next weekend (from Friday) and perhaps a 'surprise' fall in the SW on hills on
Wednesday. Convergence and instability release due to dynamical upper
forcing around the low pressure centre will be the main mechanism, enhanced
by local effects of shower streams off the sea and local convergence.

It's still coming - believe me!

The weather is going to be mega by this time next week and will be in the
news every day.

get ready!

Meant to get snow soon.

Yes

It is overrated, dirty, full of immigrants, over-priced, unfriendly and about the worse place in the UK to live.

UK Outlook for Sunday 28 Nov 2010 to Tuesday 7 Dec 2010:

The end of the first weekend will see snow showers anywhere in the UK, but most showers or longer periods of snow will be across eastern and central areas, with maybe southern areas being affected too. Risk of some significant accumulations, especially on hills. Also clearer spells, more in the west. All areas very cold with frosts and icy roads. Risk of gales in the northeast. Next week sees further snow showers in the east, with drier and brighter conditions to the west, and still very cold, but perhaps turning less cold in the south for a time. For the rest of the period it will stay cold with further wintry showers. The south and southwest may become slightly milder but with some spells of rain, sleet, or possibly snow.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 8 Dec 2010 to Wednesday 22 Dec 2010:

The cold conditions are likely to continue. Precipitation amounts should be average or slightly below, giving the risk of sleet and snow at times in many areas. Sunshine amounts are likely to be above average, although some southeastern parts may see more in the way of cloud. Temperatures are likely to continue well below average, with widespread frosts, sometimes severe. There is some chance of it turning less cold, particularly for southern and southwestern parts, but still with the risk of further rain, sleet and snow.

Tut-tut.... Why are there so many Scottish people living there then, LT?

[MissKittyFantastico]

It was -1 here up until about 2 hours ago, couldn't feel my face when I was out this morning!

Snow forecast for tomorrow and Saturday apparently, but I'll believe it when I see it.

[Tom4784]

It's cold but sunny here so you're freezing and blinded when you go outside

I can't stand sunshine.

[_Seth]

All this freezing cold is much better than the hot sun. I winter.
