Its getting colder

I've noticed the past few nights the air is getting a lot colder, I wonder if this means we will be getting some snow soon.

Winter 2010/11 prospects
Our view at the current time is that winter 2010/11 is likely to bring colder than average conditions to the UK again, with the risk of heavy snowfall and severe frost affecting much of the country at times. However, the actual pattern of the winter may be different to last year, with the cold tending to come more from the east or south east rather than the north east. In this scenario the heaviest snow often occurs in the boundary zone between the cold dry air from the east, and the mild and moist air trying to push in from the Atlantic. With this pattern we expect the most persistent cold in eastern England and Scotland with temperatures falling as low as -15C overnight, and at times remaining sub zero during the day, but with the chance of heavy snow in western regions and Northern Ireland. We expect the worst of the wintry weather to come during January and the first half of February.

Well when I say "heating", what I really mean is to wedge a tree in the cave entrance , stick an extra layer of fur on the wife and set fire to the mother in law

GAS you say, hmph, none of that round here, well not ooop north sea gas anyway
