Winter set to tighten its grip-next week

A week on from the first snow of the three day snow event in Kent and the country is still in the grip of this historic early winter blast.
More heavy snow has wreaked havoc in Scotland with hundreds of motorists trapped in their cars on motorways for 15 hours!

Here in Hawley I recorded another ice day yesterday with another possible today. Minor roads are still covered in thick ice and the fields deep with lying snow.
So as we head toward the weekend we should see a gradual lift in temperatures during the day unless freezing fog lingers, with the warmest day probably Saturday.
Sunday heralds a new week and a renewed blast of Arctic air especially for the North and East, so is more snow on the horizon? well that depends on what direction the air is coming from if its from the North then it should be dry, from the East or North-East then it is definitely possible.
So December is shaping up to be an historic month temperature wise with deep cold possible right up to and including Christmas and new year, quite  unprecedented!
