The creeping cold!

High pressure has now built across the UK and this has brought dry conditions and has also effectively cut off the flow of warm air from the Atlantic which usually acts like a storage heater during the winter months keeping the UK mild. As a result temperatures have now fallen and during the days ahead itXmas looks as though chilly conditions with overnight frost and fog in places will persist. Computer models are having difficulty forecasting how the high pressure will develop, but it does now look as though Xmas day will be dry and snowless, but rather chilly for most of the UK. Beyond that the uncertainty increases with just a hint from computer models that pressure will build further north bringing the possibility of much colder weather to the UK. The alternative and at the moment more likely scenario is that high pressure will collapse into the continent allowing milder and wetter south westerly winds to return.

Answer 2

Weather forecasters only know for sure about 12-24 hours ahead, and then it's a bit like a needle in a haystack. So don't count on an extra few days off work just yet :)

Answer 3

Please remember that last year we were PROMISED the worst winter on record with snow bringing down power lines, schools closing, water freezing in our pipes, people not being able to leave their homes for walls of snow on the roads.
And what did we get?
Snow which had gone by the morning because of the rain, and two days of light snow and sleet later on.
Don't believe everythiong they tell you.

Answer 8

Just for Me! - That sounds just like last winter - in Scotland - so just cause it didn't happen near you, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
