A protracted cold snap could, however, lead to further cuts.
There is at least one cold snap of varying severity each winter.
This period included two winters and the coldest cold snap we have had for 40 years.
Will it apply for the rest of this winter, rather than just for this present cold snap?
Curiously enough, one of the problems here was that, after an extremely savage cold snap, the thaw came very quickly.
The cold snap that we had last month was the most severe since the winter of 1962–63.
The problem is that often they cannot afford to heat their homes when the cold snap comes.
I hope that the review will be undertaken quickly, because the experience during the recent unusually cold snap was not happy.
