| UK Outlook for Thursday 4 Feb 2010 to Saturday 13 Feb 2010:
| Many eastern areas should be dry at first, although with an increasing

| outbreaks of rain, becoming heavy at times on upslopes, with a risk of
| snow in northern Scotland. Temperatures probably near normal in the west
| but rather cold in the east with overnight frost in places. Wintry
| showers and clear spells likely over the first weekend of February, with
| rain likely over low ground in the west but snow more likely elsewhere.
| Temperatures likely to become cold or rather cold with a widespread
| overnight frost. The cold conditions are likely to continue throughout
| the second week of February, with easterly or southeasterly winds
| bringing cold air from the continent and a further risk of overnight
frosts.

"Cold air ... with a further risk of overnight frosts" hardly sounds like
the full might of the Siberian cold, does it? At this time of year, skies
clearing with the wind from any direction except possibly SW is likely to
lead to overnight frost. It would appear from the "In the name of..."
thread above that the computer models have thrown a major wobbly and no-one
has a clue what is going to happen after the next few days, anyway.
