UK Outlook for Sunday 5 Dec 2010 to Tuesday 14 Dec 2010:
Remaining cold in the north at first, often dry and bright but with
wintry showers at times. It will turn windy in the southwest with rain,
turning to sleet and snow, spreading erratically northeastwards into
central parts of the UK. The snow may be heavy at times, especially from
the Midlands northwards and also over high ground. This is likely to
give further accumulations with blizzards possible at times. Towards the
end of next week, outbreaks of rain sleet and snow are likely to clear
away and be replaced by sunnier spells with occasional wintry showers.
It is likely to be rather cold with overnight frosts. Perhaps become
drier by the end of the forecast period.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 15 Dec 2010 to Wednesday 29 Dec 2010:
The cold conditions are likely to continue. Precipitation amounts should
be average or slightly below, with a risk of sleet and snow at times in
many areas. Sunshine amounts are likely to be above average, although
some southeastern parts may see more in the way of cloud. Temperatures
are likely to continue below average, with widespread frosts, sometimes
severe. However, some western and southern parts may be less cold at the
start of the period in particular, but still with the risk of further
rain, sleet and snow.

'..but still with the risk of further rain, sleet and snow.'
I like that. :-)
