Significant Snow for next week – you bet!

[SizeZero]

BBC has been running the story since lunchtime. It looks like it has the potential to be the best snowstorm for many years.

Mmmmmm. Snot on their web site.

Not there, but several of my other websites have significant amounts of that kind of material. I won't give URLs as they get more than enough traffic already.

Why mention it at all then?

They haven't made it very prominent, though - it's buried in the "More from the UK" links on the UK page.

There was a hint of it on the BBC News - don't think that they realise how serious it could be...

I see a Michael Fish moment coming on....

Stay safe out there people....

If the BBC weather forecast says heavy snow, expect a heatwave.

Dont worry Iceland will rescue us :


People in Iceland - a country currently in desperate economic trouble - have shipped jumpers and blankets to pensioners in England this week, to keep them warm in the winter.

A container of woolies arrived in the north-east of England after an appeal on an Icelandic radio station. They were handed to local charities in Hull on Thursday.

The campaign started after two Icelanders living in Manchester wrote to the programme, saying they were appalled by the numbers of elderly people dying from cold-related illnesses in England.

While the UK prepares for more freezing temperatures, Australia is experiencing the hottest weather for more than a century, with temperatures in some southern parts exceeding 45C (113F).

On Thursday the heatwave reached Tasmania, with the Australia Bureau of Meteorology reporting all-time record maximum temperatures of up to 19C above the January average.
