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

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.
