How cold does it have to be to snow?

Following the Met Office's announcement that some areas of the UK could be hit by snow, many may be habitually checking their weather app to see if it could fall in their area this week.

According to expert weather forecasters, snow is likely to be seen in parts of norther England by the middle of next week. The Met Office's long range weather forecast for December 8 to December 17 reads: "It will likely continue to be cold with further showers for much of the UK, which will fall as sleet and snow across the north leading to some accumulations of snow across higher ground, showers falling as rain or sleet more likely in parts of the south.

"Away from coasts there will likely be a good deal of fine and dry weather with sunny spells at times in the south, but with some sharp overnight frosts expected. There is a small chance that some less cold weather and rain could push up into the extreme south later on in the forecast period. On balance, however temperatures remaining cold or very cold everywhere in the UK throughout."
