CNN World Weather maintains:

The main reason for the snowfall is the cold polar air sweeping across the North Sea, said Mari Ramos of the CNN World Weather Center.The sea is still relatively warm, at 9-10 degrees Celsius (48-50 degrees Fahrenheit), so as the water evaporates and is hit by the cold polar air, it turns to snow.

Daily Mail writes about the future

In the current financially straitened times it is hard to imagine any government pouring additional funding into massively increased preparedness for extreme cold. But many of the little things that will make life easier may be in place by the next run of cold winters. And we might remember that severe winters like this are still relatively rare events…
