The Met Office have shared their latest set of predictions for Christmas Day, stating that it will be 'wintery' up north
With several parts of Scotland seeing snowy conditions over the past few days, some may be wondering whether it'll be a white Christmas now that we're less than a week away from the big day.
According to the national Meteorological experts, a White Christmas involves "one snowflake to be observed falling in the 24 hours of 25 December somewhere in the UK." Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Dan Harris, explains: "From mid-week we expect to see a north / south split develop with colder weather arriving in the north, while the south hangs onto the mild conditions.
"Uncertainty in the weather forecast details is not unusual at 6-7 days out, and the current weather patterns are heightening those uncertainties.
