Christmas Shopping Chaos

Snow again returned to the UK yesterday with large parts of the country having significant accumulations.
As for us here in Hawley, just a dusting in the afternoon but coupled with plummeting temperatures (-9.1) as the sky cleared made for awful walking and driving conditions.
yesterdays covering with more forecast today.



This weekend is the last and biggest weekend for Christmas shopping and the weather gods are clearly with the coalition and is forcing all shoppers to tighten their belts! Its not a day to be out shopping as much more snow is falling today across southern/central Britain causing associated travel chaos.

So as we head in to Christmas week things continue to be cold with more sleet/snow possible almost anywhere but as we head towards the big day mild air will prevent a 'white' Christmas.. but watch out at new year, the 'Beast from the East' wants to come and party..
