Good luck to anyone thinking there'll be half a chance of a match on Saturday - from
www.metcheck.com"The bitterly cold spell of weather looks like it is here to stay for many days yet as high pressure now builds over Scandinavia, keeping all the Atlantic weather systems - that usually help us to stay mild - well at bay. We're expecting biting easterly winds to develop over the next few days, bringing more snow to some places and further severe frosts.
Temperatures are a talking point, with minimums across northern Britain quite likely to drop below -20C for some over the coming nights. The all time record is -27.2C at Braemar in Scotland, which was recorded on January 10th 1982, and it could be that some spots come close to this figure.
Snow and ice will bring further disruptive conditions, especially across eastern England where further snow showers will fall over the coming days, adding to existing cover. As the north-easterly winds freshen, some of these showers will make their way further inland too, but many northern and western areas will see dry and bright weather for much of the time.
The weekend is looking particularly severe, when strong east winds in the south will bring a significant wind chill factor, and it is worth bearing this in mind if you have to venture out. The winds will bring more snow too for the east, and perhaps some heavy and significant falls across much of the south later in the weekend."
