they really are on a roll

UK Outlook for Tuesday 7 Dec 2010 to Thursday 16 Dec 2010:
Many areas should be fine and bright at first on Tuesday (7th), but
cloudier and windier conditions with outbreaks of rain, sleet or snow
may affect the far south later on Tuesday into Wednesday. Early wintry
showers over the far north are expected to become heavier and more
extensive by Wednesday, and spread to eastern parts. Towards the end of
the first week, northern and eastern parts of the UK are likely to see
further wintry showers, with many other areas staying drier. Thereafter,
it should become generally drier, but throughout, temperatures will
generally remain below average and often cold. Widespread frost and
freezing fog patches are expected by night, as well as a risk of
widespread ice on untreated roads and surfaces.

UK Outlook for Friday 17 Dec 2010 to Friday 31 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 northwestern parts may be less cold at the start
of the period, but still with the risk of further rain, sleet and snow.
