The UK is set for an unsettled period leading to New Year's ☔
This is partly related to the cold air that has been spreading across North America, helping to strengthen the jet stream and push low-pressure systems across the Atlantic 👇

Obligatory snow picture…except there was only a light dusting! The canal was frozen over though. Beautiful morning for a run 🏃♀️
