My phone says it's going a bit chilly over the next week - more to normal January temperatures than anything awful. That's down here in the cheerful south(ish) of England though!
thats your phone though-the Met office is massively cautious in predicting this sort of weather. this chart is from Windy Wilson, a Scottish FB weatherman who is cautious also-he wouldn't be saying this unless he was sure and he's saying its not only winter weather but bad (i.e. 2010) winter weather. never known him to be wrong tbh and the models back him.

Please could it just hold out until Thursday so we can get one xc session in before it hits!!!! Ground is blinking perfect at the moment
Yeehaaa. Snows a comin’.......be prepared chaps, a prolonged cold spell coming (and no, I am not basing this on tabloids).

This riles me greatly. Windy Wilson, the tabloids, the lot of them .. Being prepared for winter in any form isn't a bad thing, but not one of them seem to have any appreciation of the fear the elderly and vulnerable may be feeling reading about something that may / may not happen. It reminds me of the episode of the Vicar of Dibley about the "great storm" where they all ended up debating which storm was the greatest - except a lot less funny. Windy Wilson bans people from his FB page commenting about imagining it being cold in Scotland in winter. Weather forecasters have proved time and time again that they often can't predict what they're having for dinner tomorrow evening, let alone what the weather might be doing in a month.
