We are obviously going to need a prolonged easterly to bring in anything
really cold from that direction.

John speaks more sense than any of the dreamers on this newsgroup. Well done
for a more sane opinion as they all get carried away.

Thank you for your kind words. Bear in mind, though, that if the High
"retrogresses" then we may get a northerly - or it may lead to a
northerly over Scandinavia or Russia to feed our easterly - and that
could bring in really cold air more quickly.

As the wind is forecast to turn more SEly, I believe, perhaps you could
extend the cities covered to include places like Munich, Zurich and
Vienna?

A few extras John :-)

No major cold yet, although central Europe is tumbling steadily. Nearly
all Swiss locations stayed below yesterday:

An fell beautifully last night:

Still not plummeted in Scandinavia yet, which is surprising given the
block, but they may take a dive in the next couple of days.

There must have been a lot of plate tectonics overnight, if the above
three are supposed to be east of us!
