The whole of the UK looks set to suffer an Arctic blast as a 920-mile-long wall of cold weather brings snow and ice just days from now. From Land’s End to Lerwick, maps from WXCharts show that the entire country has at least some chance of snow on December 21 and 22.<\/p>\n

But in northern England, Scotland and Highlands and Islands it’s likely several inches of snow will fall with winds causing large drifts to form in some places.<\/p>\n

Icy conditions could also be an issue for those travelling home for Christmas with temperatures expected to hover around freezing and reaching minus 9C in parts of Scotland.<\/p>\n

Large cities like Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle could all be affected by significant snowfall, and major routes over the Pennines between Manchester and Leeds could be disrupted.<\/p>\n

Weather maps show most of the UK will have at least 10 percent chance of snow over the two days, but that figure rockets to around 80 or 90 percent for parts of the far north.<\/p>\n

The Met Office forecast for 17-26 December stated: \u201cIt now looks probable that there will be at least one short-lived colder interlude next week, with a period of north or northwesterly winds that could bring some snow and ice, especially in the north.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hopes of a white Christmas are looking good for some places in Britain, because while it might not snow on the big day, snow cover may linger due to low temperatures.<\/p>\n
