We face an upcoming cold spell which looks like it could be as close to one of those Daily Express headlines that we may ever get.

And people may die ignoring the dangers

Why?

Because the Express was the newspaper that cried Wolf!

Ok....exaggeration I know and I certainly hope nothing untoward happens, but, if the much anticpated cold spell does indeed come to pass,  I honestly might personally be tempted to do something unpleasant to Nathan Rao if I see him or his newspaper taken any "credit" for a highlighting such a spell was on its way! 

We all know the Express is a load of hype when it comes to cold weather and such things has far has i'm concerned any cold spell we get here will pale into insignificant's to what i experienced for the last 3 weeks out in the Ukraine temps of minus 20 minus 30 and a bitter wind chill on top of that and more snow than any brit could ever dream of so to be honest any up and coming cold spell for me personally just don't cut it after experiencing those kind of temps and snow but saying all that it would be nice to wake up in the next week or so to a nice snowy day here.

i'm off too the ukraine on wednesday for 2 weeks visiting a friend and by what iv'e seen on the latest GFS i could be in for a cold snowy time and too be honest i really hope so because here in Bristol i dont get to see too much of the white stuff but by the looks of it there could be some here in the u.k also has the high pressure moves further and further west bringing the colder air with it so fingers crossed for everyone  .
