I doubt it. But a week down the line who knows? Even the great Joe

real severe cold kicking in to NW Europe after the initial cold spell.
He is now saying no real cold in sight and windy and stormy with snow
in the Alps.

Interesting to see one or two lows zipping through England with cold air to
the north - a bit of ephemeral fun, maybe?
