Thread: - 20 degrees for the UK

JUST days after a heatwave Brits have been warned to brace themselves for a cold snap with temperatures plunging to -20°C.
Nervous councils are busy stockpiling 1.4million tonnes of grit in preparation for another harsh winter and snow falling as early as next month.
On average councils have ordered 1,500 tonnes more salt than at the same time last year as forecasters predict the UK could be just weeks away from a sudden collapse in temperatures.
Forecaster James Madden, from Exacta Weather, said: "I expect the most frequent and heavy snowfalls to occur across many parts of the UK during November, December and January at present."

Temperatures dropped as far as -20°C last winter and Mr Madden said of the upcoming cold snap: "It is likely that temperature and snowfall records will be broken."
The Local Government Association (LGA) revealed authorities were aiming to stockpile more salt for October than the total amount used last winter.
Scotland has already seen snow this week, just days after record October temperatures saw bikini-clad sun seekers hit beaches around the UK.

And forecasters have predicted temperatures in the seventies (Fahrenheit) on Sunday and Monday.

lol, sounds about right. Theres something really nice about freezing cold weather though isnt there....wrapping up warm to go for a walk...novelty might wear off at -20 though. Cant believe how harsh the winters seem to have been snce we left the UK. Our rellies had it rough last year. Think we left at the right time!

Knowing weather 'forecasters' I will believe it when I see it.

Is the doom and gloom already being stockpiled for the UK winter from overseas?

just +20c down here in the affluent south today and set to continue all week. Not as good as last week but still very pleasant.

make the most of the pleasant weather.............

I'm actually looking forward to the cooler weather. I've got a nice new winter coat and can't wait to try it out. In fact i just saw an advert for a french shop and it occurred to me that its the more temperate the climate the more style the occupants have.
d'ya know what i mean?
