Supposedly a little snow/rain mix forecast here in the Netherlands too. I'll believe it when I see it though. It's probably just gonna be cold and rainy.

Snow in northern Europe is news?

Is drought in the desert news worthy too?

Avg snowfall in London is 5cm or thereabouts. It’s a pretty mild climate despite the high latitude. There is a pretty big risk that cold melt water from the thawing Greenland ice pack will disrupt the gulf stream currents that warm Northern Europe and leave them with a much colder climate.

Heavy snow in the UK in NOV is slightly alarming. Though it could just as easily be an isolated weather event.

Wish we had that problem down here in Australia. We’ve been having 30+ degree days for several straight weeks. A few of them have been a good 40+. (That’s 86+ and 104+ for my American readers)

And I work in the giant solar oven otherwise known as a warehouse.

Wish I had that problem down here in Victoria, Australia. It’s been fucking wet, windy, cold and miserable for months now.

Wearing a jumper and pants as we speak and I’m still cold because none of our houses are insulated.

Ah, yep. My bad for speaking for all of us, mate. I’m in Perth, and let me tell ya, we’ve been having some scorchers. I’m sure if we swapped, we both be begging to swap back in a week.

And shitty cheap slumlords. There are a lot of damp and rotting buildings being rented out here and the councils won't do anything about it.

Not to mention the constantly increasing numbers of people sleeping rough or who are otherwise homeless and without regular/reliable heating (or housed but too poor to heat) - several hundred of who are unlikely to survive the winter.

Every fucking year we see this exact article and then all we get is drizzle!

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Parts of the UK are bracing for snow and wintry showers this week as the cold spell continues.

Tuesday night will bring frost to much of the country, with temperatures of around -2C to -5C, and possibly as low as -8C, across parts of the north of England and rural Scotland, the Met Office said.

Lead BBC Weather presenter and meteorologist Simon King said: “It’s going to be a cold week with temperatures only around 2 to 7 degrees Celsius - which is below the average for the time of year.”

Parts of central Scotland woke up to frost on Monday following cold overnight temperatures falling to -6.4C in the village of Tyndrum, according to the Met Office.

The rain will be heavy at times across Wales and south-west England throughout Monday, before an area of low pressure pulls south-eastwards towards Continental Europe to create brighter spells.

An area of low pressure moving in from the South West on Thursday could meet colder air, with showers expected across southern England and Wales, turning to snow over higher ground.
