What\u2019s more Christmassy than snow falling on the day itself?<\/p>\n
We might not have accurate predictions for Christmas Day just yet, but new maps show some areas of the UK have a reasonably high chance of a blanket of the white stuff, just days before.<\/p>\n
The images from WXCharts show what percentage chance there is for snow to fall on the days leading up to Christmas day, right up until Friday, December 22.<\/p>\n
Currently parts of central Scotland are showing up to a 35 percent chance of snow falling on Thursday, December 17.<\/p>\n
On Monday, December 18 in the same area the chance increases to around 50 percent the closer you get to the centre of Scotland.<\/p>\n
