Don't get your hopes too high. I'm afraid that we're too late in the
winter now for any really prolonged severe cold.

I'm not particularly hoping for a severe spell, as you say, it's pretty
late on in the winter now. Normally at this time of year I'm fed up of
winter and wishing for a mild March and early spring. However it
would be interesting and indeed unusual for this day and age for
there to be a severe spell late in Feb and leading onto a cold and
wintry March (No 20C days please!). This would be followed by a
rapid change to warm and sunny weather in early April.
Well that's my dream weather for the next six weeks anyway
