A little bit sensationalist - still nobody's prepared to stick their neck
out on the white Christmas. I note that the BBC weather after the late news
had the headline "cold again as we approach Christmas". I guess it's a
question of "watch this space". I'm no expert, but aren't these kind of set
ups notoriously difficult to forecast?

IY it's grim up north

The guy on the forecast on News 24 told us to head for the eastern USA
for a real taste of winter.

Huge range of temps, and a lot of snow likely there in a very cold
northerly

Bit of snow mostly for the higher ground tonight, clearing out of the
way

Band of rain (snow for northern hills) on Monday, but he stressed they
don't expect that to amount to much

Screaming westerlies return for mid-week, temps back to double figures
almost everywhere

and that hint at the end of the forecast, turning colder again towards
Christmas

can't see what all the fuss is about to be honest

It reminds be about the recent controversy over breast implants...storm in a
'D' cup.

Christmas day will be like a casualty roll-call list after a major disaster
over on TWO
