New Christmas snow maps show Scotland will be blanketed across the festive period - more than any other location in the UK.Almost all of the country will experience flurries on December 25, with those hoping for a picture perfect Christmas bound to be happy as they swap presents with their family and friends.

The heaviest snow fall is in Scotland this year on Christmas, with some higher regions forecast potentially more than a foot of snow.The Met Office ’s forecast for December 25 said: “Around the middle of next week, low pressure may dominate, with a spell of mild, wet and windy weather for most places. “Thereafter, while high pressure may try and build at times, especially in the south late in the period, the more likely scenario is for an unsettled regime to dominate.

Spells of wind and rain, perhaps with some hill snow in the north, are likely, followed by blustery showers, these most frequent and perhaps wintry at times in the northwest.“Temperatures will vary around average, with oscillations between colder and milder interludes.” As well as snow, the country will have lower temperatures as the latest data from forecaster WXCharts shows a strong weather front sweeping across large parts of the UK.

Conditions will drop as low as -7C in some areas, with cold Arctic air moving in, reports the Mirror.Forecasters have also said that between December 25 and January 8 most of the country will experience unsettled conditions, especially in the northwest of the country.
