Isn't the 06.00 chart on
http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/fsfaxbra.html showing much of the UK
in a col?

I recall the words of a Met guru (it might be Manley) somewhere writing:
"anything can happen in a col."

Any child who happened to be named Col(in) Snow would seem to be
predestined to become a meteorologist.

I briefly thought this thread was about what I was doing on Saturday

On the subject of names, where I work, which has nothing to do with the
weather, we have Directors named both Frost *and* Snowball

The chill that has descended upon our profits in the last few years is of
course purely coincidental......

Well-it is a fact that in 31 years pushing back the frontiers of
ignorance I have never had a Colin in front of me. That useless fact
is,I suppose, typical of a 'schoolie'. In fact I do not ever recall
ever speaking or working with a Colin, so it is highly unusual these
days I suppose.
