Default BBC NEWS | UK | Met Office warns of bitter winter - yes it's the same story told slightly differently
Forecasters are predicting that Britain could be facing one of the coldest
winters in a decade.

Ewen McCallum, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said the vulnerable and
elderly would be particularly at risk as temperatures fall.

He said it was important to give an "amber alert" to government, fuel firms,
business and the health sector.

But he added the aim was to ensure forward planning, not to scaremonger.
