Models showing zonality for next week. Ah well, it was good while it lasted. let's see what happens with the models next week though before we get those prematurely writing winter it all off again!
Met Office site still showing mild for next week (w/c 12.2.07) - and that was updated at 1138 today.

I too found the difference between frost and rain on the BBC map recently pretty confusing. The "frost cover" graphics should be a light blue in my opinion - that way the shade of blue is not too close to that of the rain.
