Met Office weather maps show winter chill is heading this way

The Met Office has issued a number of yellow warnings for snow and ice across the country as the cold winter weather finally arrives. Maps show that temperatures will drop below zero, with a risk of snow, in Newcastle and the North East as well as Scotland early on Saturday, December 10.

Thanks to a low-pressure system from Norway, dubbed the “ Troll from Trondheim ”, snow could blanket parts of the country and see temperatures plummet . Forecasters have warned that the worst of the snow could fall between December 10-15, while flurries could fall elsewhere across the UK as early as Sunday.

Weather maps show that temperatures will fall below zero overnight, with some places expected a minimum of -5 degrees. Yellow warnings for ice are in place across the region until December 9th.
