Wouldnt take a great deal of notice of the crap the tabloids spew out,The beast from the east they were talking about last time amounted to a day of east winds and a few hailstones.
However there is some truth in this one,at least for this weekend and well into next week,there will be snow,but how much and where it falls is difficult to forecast until a couple of days before...Temperatures are starting to drop now and it will become very cold by the weekend and into next week......
