While some parts of the North are battling fresh snowfalls there are growing fears of a hosepipe ban in the months to come. Despite the country grinding to a standstill under several inches of snow, which later thawed, some reservoirs' water levels are lower than usual for this time of the year. Fears of a water shortage are growing after December was officially the coldest for 100 years and 2010 the driest since in some parts of the UK since 1981. DailyMail |

Water company bosses declared that parts of the UK were so parched, they were at risk of droughts later this year. DailyMail |
