BBC weather for the week ahead not really showing anything overly cold over the next 10 days for the vast majority, maybe some snow and colder at times in Scotland, but that's not uncommon for the time of year

https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/64033690 

Bit of a shift for the longer range text from the met office, think it's the first time I've seen mention of a potential mid month cold spell.

4-18 January
Confidence remains low at the start of the year. There is a signal for generally settled conditions, interspersed between periods of wet and windy weather, and a usual chance of snow. Temperatures are likely to be around normal, with some colder conditions perhaps developing again around mid January

and Stav  ‘colder weather sinking south’

"Weather radar maps from WXCharts show a wave of heavy snow progressing across Scotland and the English border regions from the early hours of December 26."

An easy mistake for a headline hunter to make, when the Meto' own forecast map slides seamlessly from past radar to future prediction without any hint as to what's being shown

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcj2x8gt4#?date=2022-12-24 

Sunday 8 Jan - Sunday 22 Jan
Confidence remains low into mid-January. The weather is likely to remain changeable with some spells of wet and windy weather, especially in the north. There is an increased likelihood of longer dry periods, especially towards the east and southeast. Temperatures are likely to be mild at the start of the period, although brief cold spells from the north and the northwest are possible.

---

Monday 9 Jan -Monday 23 Jan

Confidence remains low into mid-January, though most likely scenario is for changeable weather to continue. Mild at first but briefer cold spells from the north and northwest are possible at times, which would bring heavy snow showers to the north. Increased risk of overnight frosts. A trend back towards milder, wetter weather is most likely following this.
