The major problem about answering questions on climatic variances is the future position of the northern jet stream.
The jet stream is key to possible changes in the weather in the UK.
The last REALLY cold winter was, believe or not, in 1963.
Since then, although you would find few people you could convince of it, winters have been relatively mild and show no signs of any change soon.
Of course, now I've typed that, this coming cold season will be a stinker and I will never post an answer again.
The jet stream, on the best current climate models, may split on approach to the UK mainland and force depressions straight at us, making winters wetter but milder, especailly in Scotland, but the whole country should be a bit more damp.
So less skiing and more water skiing for the very hardy!
