We may have missed out on a white Christmas, but there’s some good news on the horizon as snow is finally forecast for the UK.
Thanks to the Arctic air travelling south and accelerating wind speeds, parts of Britain could see snow by the end of the week.
Wintry showers are expected in the north of Scotland, Northern Ireland, the North Yorkshire Moors and possibly Norfolk on Friday. Snow may even hit the South East over the weekend.
