Brits are bracing for a wintry storm dubbed the 'Troll of Trondheim' fuelling hope for a White Christmas.
The Norwegian blast will sweep across parts of the UK before the weekend bringing with it "arctic air" and "drastic conditions" with some set to freeze in -10C conditions this week.
The Scandinavian storm is increasing the chances of a flurry with parts of the country already gearing up for their first heavy bout of snow this winter - and it could stick around.
