Easterly takes a turn for the cold

I have linked to the 16 day average temperature forecast that Net weather have kindly sorted out for me from the GFS feed. Although UKMO look for a break in the Easterly near the end of next week, the current GFS feed indicates something that could even challenge the Christmas Week Gas Supply.

29/12/5 is actually on an average across the UK of below zero for the whole day.

Easterlies give very cold (for the UK) weather as they come from the continent which is well cold.

The records of frozen rivers etc arise from Easterlies.
