Quick, get some soup in

Anyone who's been outside today will have noticed it's a little bit nippy. Not cold, or Baltic, just a touch parkie.

But, if you look on the BBC website, you'd think that hell itself was about to freeze over.

We're forecast some snow. How much ? A foot ? Two feet ? More ?!!!!

No. Up to 4 centimetres. Or less than 2 inches in old money.

Or 6 inches if you're a bloke.

The likelihood of frost and icy roads - coupled with poor visibility - may make driving hazardous in the worst hit areas, particularly on untreated roads.

What ? In January, who'd have imagined that happening.

And even then it's not going to settle for long:

BBC weather presenter Chris Fawkes said there would be little time for building snowmen, especially in southern England.

"It will turn milder on Thursday night across the South. But snow in eastern Scotland and the North East could settle."

The weekend however would be warmer, with wind and rain, he said.

So the BBC have very kindly put up some useful advice to avoid trouble in the very short period the whole country will be gridlocked because of the cataclysmic weather.

Warm clothing. Genius. Glad they mentioned that, wouldn't have thought of that myself.

De-icer for the car, always handy at this time of year, thanks for the reminder you egg-sucking morons.

But the best one, plan you journey before leaving home. What ? Instead of setting off in your car with no idea of where you're heading, turning corners at random.

Best of luck everyone, sounds like we're going to need it.
