Or in slightly muddled words:

"12-16th December 2014 AB=80%

Heavy snow and blizzards. Thundersnow, turning EXTREMELY COLD in
Scotland and NE England. DEEP SNOW likely in E+NE (espec) England &
South Scotland. Airports lkely disuprted inc Heatheow + Gatwick. Small
clarifications 45d re deeper snow"

UK map - most of UK except N Scotland and W Ireland "HEAVY SNOW,
BLIZZARDS, prob heaviest in East and NE parts FEET OF SNOW IN PARTS,
East parts inc London + SE. Becoming extremely cold"

Not the last paragraph where it's hard to tell if he mean snow or cold
in the SE.

Madden's Exacta forecast not looking too brilliant either is it!

He said: “Over the coming weeks and into November, it is likely to turn
progressively colder, even very cold at times, in particular, in parts
of the north as northern blocking becomes a somewhat more prominent feature.
This is likely to bring some significant snow across higher ground
within this period.
This may also bring the first snow event of the season to some much
lower levels of the country, in particular, in some parts to the north
and east of the country, but these wintry weather events may also not
necessarily be restricted to just these parts, and some much lower
levels of the country could also experience their first taste of wintry
weather for the season in terms of overnight snow or developing wintry
showers.
As the colder weather begins to take more of a stronghold throughout the
latter part of October and into November, widespread frosts and dense
fog patches will also become a quite prominent feature for many.
Mr Madden said sudden changes in weather and pressure systems could drag
swathes of freezing air from the Arctic across the UK with cold weather
likely until next spring.
This allows cold easterly winds to develop and increases the risk of
northern blocking across the UK.
A number of potentially very cold periods of weather and major snow
events are likely to develop throughout this winter across large parts
of the country, in particular, throughout the latter part of December
and into January."
