It's snowing all over Europe

UK
The winter of 2010-2011 in europe began with an unusually cold November caused by a cold weather cycle that started in southernScandinavia and subsequently moved south and west over the both Belgium and Netherlands on November 25 and in to the west of Scotlandand North East England on November 26. This was due to a low pressure zone in the Baltics a high pressure over Greenland on November 24.
From the 22nd November 2010, cold conditions arrived in the United Kingdom as a cold northerly wind developed and snow began to fall in Northern and Eastern parts causing disruption. The winter arrived particularly early for the european climate, with temperatures dropping significantly lower than previous lows for the month of November. On 28 November, Wales recorded their lowest ever November temperature of -17.3C in Llysdinam and Nothern Ireland recorded their lowest ever November Temperature of -9.5C in Lough Fea. The UK Met Office issued severe weather warnings for heavy snow for eastern Scotland and the north-east of England.
