Gegli news - White Christmas recorded in UK - and there's more coming on Boxing Day - 12/26/2017 5:28:17 PM 5:28:17 PM 

Scotland, Wales and central England can all expect snow on Boxing Day after 2017 was officially recorded as a white Christmas.

 The Met Office has confirmed that parts of the UK officially enjoyed a white Christmas - and there's warnings of wider snowfall through Boxing Day.

It was left late in the day, but at 10.20pm the organisation tweeted: "HOT OF THE PRESS - Spadeadam (in Cumbria) has recently reported light snow. Parts of southern Scotland are also seeing rain turning to snow. This has officially made it a white Christmas for some (just in the nick of time!)"

Wintry showers are expected to continue into the early hours of Boxing Day morning, with the possibility of up to 10cm of snow in the highest ground in Scotland.

Those travelling by car have been urged to take extra care through the morning as the Met Office predicts conditions will become icy overnight.

It also issued a warning for rain and snow on Boxing Day for central England and Wales from 6pm until 11am the next morning.

Sky's Weather Producer Joanna Robinson said: "Snow will accumulate over northern hills overnight, especially the Southern Uplands and Northern Pennines, and perhaps to low levels in parts of Scotland.

"Later, Wales and central England may see snow falling to low levels, with a covering possible in places by Wednesday."

Forecasters predict that rain moving east from Wales could turn to snow by the early hours of Wednesday.
