UK Outlook for Wednesday 30 Nov 2011 to Friday 9 Dec 2011:

It will be a largely unsettled period across the bulk of the UK, with the wettest and windiest weather generally towards the northwest, with gales and spells of heavy rain or showers most likely here. Showers will turn to snow at times over high ground in the north, perhaps falling to lower levels on occasion, with a low chance of this also threatening central parts of the UK at times. There will, however, be some drier and more settled interludes too, especially towards the south of the country later in the period. Temperatures are likely to be around or a little below the seasonal average, bringing an increased risk of frost overnight almost anywhere during any more settled spells.

UK Outlook for Saturday 10 Dec 2011 to Saturday 24 Dec 2011:

The generally changeable westerly theme is likely to continue through the middle part of December, with spells of wet and windy weather separated by some drier interludes. Generally, rainfall amounts are expected to be around or a bit above average, meaning that western areas will on the whole see more rain than the east, although some rainy spells are likely for all parts. Sunshine hours should also be close to or slightly above normal, with eastern parts more likely to experience the best of the sun. In terms of temperatures, many places are likely to see a trend towards somewhat milder than average conditions, but this does not rule out some colder snaps and the chances of frost and hill snow will continue to increase later in the month.

It will probably turn colder as is usually the case when it is December but to try and say it will snow this far away is guessing really.

If it helps I think we will have a short cold snap next month that may contain snow, but weather is my hobby not my profession so take my predictions with a pinch of salt.

The AO index is up again today 14 days out so no real cold for us in the next 2 weeks looks like piers will be way off again and madden keeps saying every month cold for next month i can see it been march and madden will still be telling us snow and cold on way .
Reminds me of last dec i bought piers forecast for jan 2011 and he was totally wrong i really think my cat could predict weather better then these 2 con men piers and madden or mad man as most call him

Joe b is another man who moves things around to suit his forecasts after they happen and pretends he predicts them

I have to say im looking forward to next tuesdays chat from piers he will feed us more crap about dec been super cold even tough anyone can be certain no cold looking at AO and NAO no long term cold on way for next few weeks yet piers still craping on about this 28th nov date he says oh its a delay PIERS NEWSFLASH ITS NOT THE 39 TO CLONSILLA BUS :mad:

You use it in most sweet things, it helps draw out the flavour and not make it savoury as most people think.

Anyway, I'm sick of this warm weather. I want ice and frost and the need to throw foot balls at giant icicles again!

Here is the Netweather winter foecast for 2011/2011 going for a reverse of last years, coldest month in Feb and our cold coming from the east, very similar to what MT said

The conditions upstream are cack for sustained cold for sometime to come. We are as far away from a blocking as we could possibly be

With this in mind I wonder how the likes of Corbyn are going to play it? If we get sustained cold in January or February. He'll probably say he got the forecast right, but the actual timing was slightly wrong :pac:
