Vooral in de Engelse heuvels kan het een week compleet winteren. Net als wij beleven de Engelsen de koudste winter sinds die van 96/97.

Cold weather to sweep the UK by Tomasz Schafernaker
Wintry conditions are set to dominate the UK weather in the coming week, bringing heavy snow for many parts.
On Friday and Saturday, temperatures across eastern parts of the UK will gradually fall, but it is not until Sunday that the cold weather really takes hold. Temperatures in Birmingham on Sunday are set to peak at just 1C (34F), 4 degrees below average for the time of year.
Wintry showers are set for eastern parts of the UK on Sunday, with anywhere from Aberdeenshire to Kent receiving 1 or 2cm (around half an inch) of snow. On Monday and Tuesday, this snow risk extends further west, with significant accumulations possible for much of England, Wales, and southern Scotland. Up to 20cm (8 inches) of snow is possible over higher ground in the east by the end of Tuesday.
The return to colder weather across the UK is due to the influence of an area of high pressure centred over Scandinavia. This high pressure system will remain slow moving into next week, and will draw in very cold air from continental Europe and western Russia. As this cold air moves across the North Sea, it will pick up moisture, which is then deposited as snow showers over the UK.
So far, this winter has been the coldest in the UK for over a decade. Forecasters from the Met Office expect temperatures for the whole of winter to be average or below average.
