Weather Forecast: Polar Plunge to replace endless rain with heavy snow set to sweep UK | UK | News | Daily Express

I remain unconvinced.

Temperatures are set to plunge as the current mild Atlantic weather system makes way for colder air from the Arctic.

Drier and calmer conditions will be welcomed by thousands devastated by floods though the change will bring a new threat of snow and ice.

However on 22/12/2013 this was the forecast ...

BRITAIN is on course for its first proper White Christmas in DECADES with forecasters now predicting widespread snow across the country on Christmas morning.

Or on 2/12/2013, this gem ....

Get ready for arctic plunge: Up to eight inches of snow to sweep Britain | Nature | News | Daily Express

This could be only the start of a particularly bad winter with below-*average temperatures and heavy snow for three months, warn forecasters. They say the blast of cold air could see the mercury dip to -13C (9F) overnight in the North, bringing eight inches of snow with wintry showers as early as tomorrow and heavy snow forecast for Wednesday.

And it's always the same forecasters they talk to.

Given that they predicted a severe UK storm before it even formed over America, the capability of which is stunning, you'd think they'd be able to predict

a) The temperature, to within say +-5 degrees.
b) If we are going to get buckets of snow or not.

So by all accounts it's time to get the springwear out of the loft again.

We had a proper white Christmas 2 or 3 years ago - several inches lying on the ground for weeks across large parts of the country.

A week or two before Christmas they asserted that we were about to enter upon 100 days of snow, locking the country in its icy embrace

Yes Suity that's right. About 2 weeks ago they were forecasting the first proper White Christmas in DECADES, but we had one 2-3 years ago.

Do you understand yet, I don't know I can make this simpler for you?
