'Wintry weather will grip parts of the UK for weeks to come as snow
spreads eastwards, forecasters have warned.'
Out over the North Sea then?
Well that's alright.

The whole thing is just rank bad journalism. Neither MeteoGroup nor
the Met Office, contrary to the opening para, said anything about the
cold lasting "for weeks", although I see that this has since been
edited. It still says "eastwards" though. And the final para talks
about "the Baltics".

It seems that often times one of the more junior journalists is put
onto weather stories; or that people who write write weather pieces
somehow, for all the years they have lived, never notice what the
weather does.
