We can say with a high degree of confidence it will be a white Christmas this year, Met Office spokesperson Grahame Madge told The Independent. However that does not mean we will see blankets of snow. It is more likely we will see snow in higher parts of the UK like the North Pennines or Scottish Highlands.
As we begin Christmas Day wintry showers initially feeding in across the north in the colder air mass would technically make it a white Christmas, as we only need to see a single flake falling. Elsewhere, while it is likely at first to be mostly dry there is the potential for rain approaching from the west later on. As this moves east, we may see rain turning to snow, at least over high ground. It's unlikely that we will see widespread or settling snow giving any proper accumulations. Although technically it might be a white Christmas, don't get your hopes up for a picture-perfect white landscape.
