Last year witnessed a wild Christmas Eve to Boxing Day period with severe gales, record warmth and a late white Christmas followed by cold and snowy Boxing Day.

This year has been a little less extreme but we did witness a late white Christmas/Boxing Day across parts of central, southern Scotland and northern England as colder air was pulled in on the rear of low pressure.

Models did a good job seeing the late Christmas Day snow some 5 days out.

As for tonight, it’s cold over the snow fields of N England, Scotland but heavy snow moves into Wales and the Midlands tonight/tomorrow with disruption likely.
