Packing away the winter woolies? Forget it . . . there is more snow on the way

More snow could hit Bristol next week as temperatures plummet once again.
Independent risk meteorologists British Weather Services has predicted that from early next week the UK will face another week to 10 days of ice and snow.
But according to MeteoGroup, Bristol should not be too badly affected.
Forecaster Rob Hutchinson said: “At the moment there is a strong indication that there will be a return to cold conditions, but it may not be particularly snowy – it is hard to tell. The risk of snow is low but I can’t rule it out.
“It could be quite a protracted spell, starting with it turning progressively colder through the weekend.”
The wind is expected to switch direction and come from the east bringing in cold air from the continent and Bristol will get even colder as the week goes on.
He said: “The weekend in Bristol will be dry and cloudy, with temperatures between 1C and 7C on Saturday and on Sunday it will be slightly colder. Next week temperatures will fall below freezing at night and will struggle to get much above 0C in the daytime.
“The current indication is that in Bristol it will be cold but dry and fine, with the chance of snow showers, rather than heavy disruptive snow.”

On the Move
As if surrounded by a celestial halo, space shuttle Discovery made its way towards the expansive confines of NASA Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building following a move from its processing hangar on Sept. 9, 2010. A metal sling will be carefully connected to the spacecraft and then operators will hoist it from transfer aisle to the high reaches of the 52-story building before lowering it into place beside the external fuel tank and twin solid rocket boosters. Crews then will connect the spacecraft giving the stack its familiar launch day form. Discovery is targeted to liftoff on the 11-day STS-133 mission on Nov. 1 at 4:40 p.m. EDT.
