Sadly the Met Office not going for a prolonged cold spell and seem to suggest a return to S W winds by early Dec.
Which is a bit odd as I dont see a return to zonal in the models.
UK Outlook for Friday 22 Nov 2013 to Sunday 1 Dec 2013:
Many western and northern areas will be mainly dry and fine at first with a few wintry showers. Southern and eastern parts of the UK will be cloudier with a greater risk of showers, perhaps heavy near North Sea coasts. Showers are likely to fall as snow over high ground, and it will be cold generally with overnight frosts. Thereafter, it will probably stay mainly dry and settled in northwestern areas but rather cold with a raw easterly wind. Southern and eastern parts are likely to stay unsettled with further wintry showers but these will tend to increasingly fall as rain. Towards the end of the month there are signs that temperatures may return nearer to normal with more unsettled weather affecting northern and western Britain.
