The Met Office has revealed its verdict for a polar storm set to hit Britain in the coming days. A wall of snow and plunging temperatures are due to blast the UK in the run up to Christmas.<\/p>\n

According to the latest weather maps, the 473-mile snow bomb is due to first touchdown on December 20 before ramping up over the following day with snow expected from Wick in the north of Scotland down to Manchester.<\/p>\n

Temperatures could plummet well below freezing, with maps showing temperatures of up to -13C in parts of Scotland, while England could be in store for up to 10cm of snow.<\/p>\n

Speaking on YouTube, Met Office forecaster Alex Deakin, said: “There might be something a bit wintry – potential for snow at times between December 19 and December 26. There’s two scenarios equally likely – generally colder than average temperatures, with a mid Atlantic ridge and north-westerly winds.”<\/p>\n

Saturday, December 23 is also expected to bring more of the white stuff, as many in the UK are expected to take the roads and railways for their Christmas getaway.<\/p>\n

Edmund King, the president of the AA, said: \u201cWhile Friday, December 22 and Saturday, December 23 look set to be the busiest travelling days, the unsettled weather forecast could lead to additional delays so drivers should drive to the conditions and slow down where necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Year\u2019s Day will be the quietest day on the roads which is probably a good thing especially if drivers have been partying the previous evening.” Mr King went on: \u201cDrivers can still be breathalysed and lose their licence for driving over the limit the morning after.\u201d<\/p>\n
