Snow could be falling again in just a matter of days as chilly conditions return, according to new forecasts.
While temperatures have been notably mild this week, a blast of cold air moving down from the Arctic over the Christmas period is set to bring the mercury back down towards freezing in many parts of the UK next week.
Weather radar maps from WXCharts show a wave of heavy snow progressing across Scotland and the English border regions from the early hours of December 26.
