At the moment you’ve got High Pressure out in the Atlantic that isn’t strong enough to hold back a ‘spurt’ of energy being pushed South out from the Polar Vortex – which is happening way to our North, just to the East of the North Pole.

The Atlantic will hit back soon though and sadly it’s left too much warmer maritime air over us down South for us to see any Snow from this little spell ‘
