UK snow forecast: Shock graph that PROVES Britain will be covered in SNOW this December
THE United Kingdom could still be left covered in snow in November as northern Europe becomes a battleground between cold Arctic air and a warmer tropical climate moving up from the south.
Temperatures of -7C were forecast during the early hours of Monday with widespread lows of freezing.
However, Sunday could soon become a crucial day for whether the UK is hit by snow during this prolonged spell of colder weather.

WXCHARTS said: “Sunday looks to be a pivotal day for the long-range forecast across northern Europe as a battleground develops between cold Arctic air and warm, tropical air moving up from the south.”
According to their latest chart, Britain is right in the middle of the tussle between the hot and cold air.
John Hammond, a forecaster for online service weathertrending, sent a shock warning to Christmas shoppers to brace for further cold weather this month.
Daytime temperatures could touch freezing by Black Friday – the busiest shopping day of the year which falls on November 24, he added.
He said: “Officially winter doesn’t begin until December but the meteorological models are increasingly showing it will arrive early.
“By Black Friday some areas of Britain could be seeing daytime temperatures of zero degrees – and this weekend’s night-time frosts will seem mild by comparison.”
