It's going to be wet at times with cold spells that may lead to snow - especially on higher ground
There will be some sunny but cold days accompanied by hard frosts, especially at night
After Christmas you may notice the days getting longer

HTH

Where are you?

This was Swirral Edge on Helvellyn yesterday. Chances are it's been putting more down today.

Long term weather forecasts are pretty much pointless imo.

Dead right, think short term is pretty much a waste of time too judging by their inaccuracy

Winter 2009 Outlook from Met Office is here

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/seasonal/2009/winter/

For northern Europe, including the UK, there is a 20% chance of a colder winter, a 30% chance of an average winter and a 50% chance of a milder winter

For northern Europe, including the UK, signals for precipitation are weak, with near equal chances for each of the three categories. There is a 30% chance of a drier winter, a 35% chance of an average winter and a 35% chance of a wetter winter.

So overall a strong signal for average or above average temperatures through the winter as a whole, although that by itself doesn't preclude a few blasts of distinctly chilly air.
