Unseasonal Weather - for a change?

Weather forecasters predict the cold snap will ease slightly after heavy snow in some parts of the UK but the winter conditions are set to continue.
The cold snap - with its widespread frost and crisp air - is caused by cold air that has come down from the Arctic.
It has been described as 'Unusual weather' by the Met Office. Cardiff will enjoy the highest temperatures, with a maximum of 10C (50F). Meanwhile, central Scotland is not expected to rise above 3C (37.4F).
BBC Weather forecaster Kirsty McCabe said: "It is unusual weather and the air is much colder for this time of the year. It will be cold during the rest of the week and the temperature now is more like what you find at the end of December."
On Tuesday night temperatures plunged to -4C and football matches were either postponed or abandoned at Luton, Northampton, Walsall and Wycombe.
Kent also suffered from torrential rain.
