looks the like the deep cold is not going to make it


UK Outlook for Tuesday 5 Jan 2010 to Thursday 14 Jan 2010:
The middle part of next week and the following weekend will be cold in
all parts. There will be some hard overnight frosts, with a risk of
patchy freezing fog. Southern and western parts should be mainly dry and
sunny, although there is the risk of some occasional wintry showers.
However, wintry showers will be heavier and more frequent in the north
and east where some significant falls are possible. There is also a low
risk of a spell of wintry weather in the south for a time at the end of
next week. The further outlook will continue much the same although it
may become a little less cold. Some more persistent rain, sleet or snow
might spread into the west or southwest later.
