Scotland to see 'White Christmas' as snow to fall for two days in weather warning

Scots are to experience a 'White Christmas' this year as snow is forecast to fall on December 25.

Parts of Scotland will be hit with snow and ice on Christmas and Boxing Day as the Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning.

Earlier this month, temperatures dropped to record lows and much of the country faced conditions well below freezing. Milder temperatures brought the cold snap to an end, but it now looks likely that a White Christmas will be seen by many Scots.

On Sunday, December 25, blustery snow showers will hit areas in Central, Tayside & Fife, Grampian, Highlands and Strathclyde, the forecaster has predicted.

The weather experts say that some travel disruption may be likely in higher areas, with 5-10cm of snowfall possible. The warning is currently in place from 9pm on Christmas Day until 6pm on Boxing Day.

Drivers are being urged to take care when making journeys as there could be icy icy patches on some untreated roads and pavements. Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services

The Met Office also warns there is a small chance of interruptions to power supplies.

The Met Office said: "Strengthening west-northwesterly winds will bring increasingly frequent wintry showers to the west of Scotland through Sunday night and into Monday morning.

"These may fall as snow to low levels for a time where temporary accumulations of 1-3 cm are possible, with 5-10 cm of snow over the hills. Icy surfaces will be an additional hazard.

"Strong to gale force winds bring the risk of drifting and blizzards for upland areas, with a small risk of isolated power outages as the snow and strong wind affects power lines."

Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services, and icy patches are likely to form on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
