i'm hoping for 6 inches of snow just enough to bring the country to a standstill with all the people who can't drive in it  ;D

This how the Met Office forecast this winter back in September:

"Winter temperatures are more likely to be above normal over much of the European region. However, this winter is likely to be less mild than last winter, when above-average temperatures were widespread.
For the UK as a whole, winter-mean temperatures are more likely to be above normal. Although a winter milder than the 1971-2000 average is favoured, temperatures are likely to be lower than those experienced last year."

If that cold snap does materialise they will be looking a bit silly, to say the least.

The Daily Express always like to exaggerate things. Not so long ago they were saying there is going to be a recission and house prices would drop ::)

I can't find any corroboration of that Met Office chap's quote on the web and some seem to have cast doubt about it.  :-/

That said, I personally wouldn't rule out more cold weather.
