Arctic blast forecast in January as UK set to see 'snowiest period for 12 years'

Long-range forecasters are predicting an Arctic blast in January with it claimed Britain is set for its 'snowiest period of weather' since 2010. The Met Office says that snow is possible into mid-January and another forecaster is predicting "frequent spells of cold wintry weather" next month.

Nationally temperatures are predicted to drop initially in the run up to Christmas Day, although it is milder in Nottinghamshire, with a high of 10°C forecast for Sunday.
