Default BBC NEWS | UK | Met Office warns of bitter winter - yes it's the same story told slightly differently

To early to look at charts with highs in those regions, I've seen these
form every year since I can remember. My 'gut' feeling is a winter
comparable to 1969 / 1970 which had some quite severe spells
interspersed with milder intelludes.

What is different this year, compared to the last couple, is I have not
yet seen extreme cold temperatures in northern Scandinavia. Maybe these
are going to arrive later in the winter and then the winds turn in our
direction? Previously, the 'milder' air has returned to these regions
when we look like getting a NE wind. Just an observation. But things to
appear to be different this autumn.
