Cold wintry conditions will continue into the weekend, before milder and wetter weather sweeps in bringing at least a temporary reprieve at the start of next week. But what are the main forecasters now predicting for the Christmas weekend?
If you are looking for snow, you might be "unlucky" this year as there is not likely to be much snow around in the UK, according to the BBC Weather long range forecast.
In the meantime, the UK will remain cold through rest of this week and into the weekend with the risk of sleet and snow at times continuing mainly across northern areas. A yellow warning for snow and ice has also been issued for a large part of Wales on Sunday. More details about that here.
