Default Cold weather payments to pensioners

When I first read the definition I missed the word "average" so thought it
had to be seven consecuative ice days, highly unlikely. Even in this cold
snap we would have failed that test as it got, briefly, to over 1C
yesterday,
the seventh ice day that wasn't quite...

But as it's average I can see that the last few of days of November and up
to
the 14th ish of Decemeber could well average 0C, same for the period from
about the 9th January, so we may be due another Cold Weather Payment.

Hi, Dave,
Not sure which MetO station they use for your averages, Shap, Warcop?
We are covered by Ravensworth, North Yorkshire.
