Last night's weather forecast, on TV. Though the Met Office long term weather forecast looks less ominous:

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

Day 16 to 30

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.

According to climate scientists, snow free winters will become increasingly rare due to global warming. The mild winters we were used to 20 years ago are now a thing of the past.

Where's Wxman? He usually pops up with some weather forecasting, and it's usually a damn sight more accurate than the tulip on TV.
