Just as the UK is starting to come out of the grips of sub zero temperatures, forecasters are yet again predicting a period of extremely cold weather. Long-range predictions even suggest Britain could be set for its 'snowiest period of weather' since 2010.
James Madden, a forecaster for Exacta Weather, told GB news: "Temperatures will drop in the run up to Christmas and this could bring the risk of snow to parts of the country, some of which may fall to lower levels. The rest of December and January are showing signs of frequent spells of cold wintry weather with below-average temperatures and numerous wintry blasts.
"We could now be looking at a lengthy cold period setting in for a number of weeks and the potential for some of the coldest and snowiest weather since December 2010."
