Ouch - sounds like you are in for a rough couple of weeks if BBC monthly forecast is anything to go by: Monday 2 February 2009 to Sunday 8 February “Cold with heavy snow.” A cold week in prospect with widespread frosts, bitter winds and potentially some very disruptive snowfall. We start the week in a raw easterly airstream, reaching us all the way from Arctic Russia. Through Monday this will progressively push snow showers to all but the most sheltered western fringes of the UK. Eastern areas of the UK will be worst affected by the showers, with accumulations up to about 10 inches (25cm) possible in places. The wind will mean a risk of blizzards and drifting but also adds a significant wind chill. Through the second half of Monday a weather system from northern France starts to extend into the UK and this then brings the potential of yet more heavy falls. This system will spread right across the UK Monday and into Tuesday producing again the best part of foot of snow in some areas as it does so. Tuesday and Wednesday will see the falling snow become focused across Scotland and Northern Ireland. England and Wales however are likely to still have lying snow and ice to contend with. Thursday and Friday are the set to see the wind swing round to a northerly direction, bringing air straight from the Arctic, keeping us all cold and pushing the snow risk back into England and Wales. Monday 9 February 2009 to Sunday 15 February 2009 "Remaining cold with risk of further snow." This weeks weather looks set to be dominated by low pressure and winds from the east or northeast. This factors combined will give cold and unsettled conditions. Eastern areas will face or sleet, maybe even turning to snow at times. Sheltered western areas will be comparatively much drier and brighter. Day time highs will struggle and the nights promise very sharp frosts. Monday 16 February 2009 to Sunday 01 March 2009 “Cold with wintry flurries.” Not a lot of change is predicted in the synoptic set up across the UK for the second half of the month. Conditions look set to remain cold courtesy of easterly winds and once again unsettled thanks to the continued influence of low pressure areas.
