It's cold, right now. Temperatures have dropped in the city and county, there are weather warnings in place but the big question for those who are hoping for a white Christmas, is when will it snow?
If you are itching to dust off your sledge, then the snow forecast is what you've been waiting for. This week, the Met office issued two weather warnings. One for ice and another - a sinister sounding 'level 3' weather warning. This level of alert indicates a 90% probability of severe conditions and is in place between now and Monday, December 12. For the full story about what numbered weather alerts mean, follow the link here.
So, what do we have in store? The forecast for the next few days remains very cold. Lows of -3C have been predicted for Saturday, December 10, and Sunday, December 11. And lows for the remaining days up until Wednesday, December 14, aren't much warmer. Lows of -2 and -1 are forecast. So with cold air coming from the Arctic to the UK, surely that means snow?
