AN early weather warning has been issued across the UK as experts forecast months of heavy show in what is expected to be the worst winter in half-a-century.

A combination of freak conditions including the most powerful El Nino on record and changes in air pressure over the Arctic are set to cause contribute to the icy conditions.

The forecast shows snow is expected to start falling in Yorkshire in December and continue until March, although the earliest snowfall could arrive by early November.

James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather, said the first flakes of snow could arrive in just three weeks’ time.

He said: “It is likely to turn significantly colder from mid October onwards.

 

Accuweather's long term prediction is for bad weather to pass us by but with very harsh conditions in the east of Europe and Scandinavia. We should all take our weather predictions with a large pinch of salt.

 

Should we put that on the path?

 

I don't get your drift.

Are you saying there's not a snowball in Hull's chance?

 

That prediction is snow use to anyone.

 

Uh oh, the thread's on a slippery slope now.

 

Forecasts for tomorrow are often inaccurate. These long range forecasts cut no ice with me.

 

The article is a bit flaky.

 

Aye, the met office have issued yellow snow warnings for this region before.

A good year to be spending Christmas with my in-laws in the Czech mountains then. I'll be able to film a Rocky 4 training montage.

 

I love a cold winter.

Hope it's true.

 

A man who hedges his bets. Snow expected in December, although could arrive by November, could be in three weeks ( which I thought was October until I checked today's date )

 

I saw hull city council already stating if we have a bad winter we won't be ready for city of culture 2017..... That's the defeatist attitude we all expect from our clown council

 

According to the BBC weather service there are no indications of a harsh winter ahead, most predictions of doom are based on the signals being given by nature with exceptionally high numbers of berries on hedgerow plants (excellent sloes & brambles this year) & the fact that berries are appearing earlier. This could equally be due to an excellent growing season this summer

 

Please tell me you're taking the piss?

 

To be fair, it doesn't actually say what they're experts in. They could well be expert grit and snow shovel salesmen.

 

I always get a tingle in my conkers if there's going to be bad weather.

 

Not at all unfortunately

 

Unbelievable.

Literally unbelievable.
