UK Outlook for Wednesday 8 Dec 2010 to Friday 17 Dec 2010:
A band of rain, sleet and snow is expected to move south crossing most
parts Wednesday into Thursday, with further accumulations of snow
possible and a risk of gales over northern and eastern parts of the UK.
The best of any brightness should be in central and southwestern parts.
Snow showers are likely to persist in northern and eastern parts over
the weekend, but elsewhere only occasional snow showers are expected
with some western areas perhaps staying dry. Thereafter, it should
become generally drier although still with a risk of snow for northern
and eastern UK. Throughout, temperatures will generally remain below
average and often cold. Widespread frost and freezing fog patches are
expected by night, as well as a risk of widespread ice on untreated
roads and surfaces.

may see more in the way of drier weather. Amounts of sunshine should be
around or slightly above average for many.
