I think what people are alluding to is that it has barely changed in two days:
UK Outlook for Monday 13 Feb 2017 to Wednesday 22 Feb 2017:
Gradually turning less cold through the period, but still with a risk of some sleet or snow showers in Scotland and the north-east, which could be heavy at first. There is likely to be a lot of dry weather around, although it will probably be rather cloudy. The best of any bright spells will be towards the west and northwest, although later in the week and through the rest of the period there is a risk of seeing some wet and windy conditions start to edge into western parts. There is a small possibility this could start as sleet or snow, before turning to rain. It will feel very cold in the easterly wind, but turning less cold with overnight frosts becoming less likely by the end of the period.
UK Outlook for Thursday 23 Feb 2017 to Thursday 9 Mar 2017:
Through the rest of February, the preferred scenario is for conditions to remain largely settled, meaning that our weather will probably stay on the cold side overall. There are likely to be a lot of dry days and some sunny spells but the nights will be cold, probably with frost and fog for some. There is a small risk of a few sleet or snow showers in southern and eastern parts, although confidence is low. Occasional but most likely short-lived spells of milder and wetter weather are possible, and these will most likely be in the west and northwest. The weather at the start of March currently looks rather uncertain, but there is a chance it could turn milder and more unsettled.

UK Outlook for Saturday 11 Feb 2017 to Monday 20 Feb 2017:
A cold east to south-easterly airstream is expected to affect most parts throughout this period. There is likely to be a lot of dry, albeit rather cloudy weather through the weekend, with the best of any brighter breaks expected to develop towards the west and northwest. However, some snow showers are likely to affect the east and northeast, with a small chance of these becoming heavier and spreading to central and some western areas through the weekend. It will feel very cold in sometimes fresh winds with a widespread night frost. Next week there is a chance of some rain or snow affecting the west and northwest at times. Elsewhere it should stay largely dry with snow showers becoming lighter and less frequent. Remaining cold with winds freshening at times.
UK Outlook for Tuesday 21 Feb 2017 to Tuesday 7 Mar 2017:
Through the rest of February, the most likely scenario is for things to remain fairly settled, meaning that our weather is likely to stay on the cold side, with a lot of dry days and some sunny spells. The nights will bring further frost and fog too. Occasional spells of milder, wetter weather are possible, most likely in the west and northwest. The signals for the start of March are currently very weak, but it may turn more widely unsettled and also milder.
Minor changes of detail of course but large chunks are just copy and paste.
