As you should know...well...seen. Its snowing in the UK! And there is only 30 days until Christmas.
Could this year, be a white Christmas?

This year, according to records, the winter snow has come early this year, and hopefully could lead through to Christmas! This year the forecast is plenty of snowfall, take this news article from 'The Telegraph'.

UK snow: 10 inches forecast as Britain prepares for an Arctic weekend

Britain is expected to continue shivering for another fortnight as lower than normal temperatures accompany the earliest widespread snowfall since 1993.

The severe weather has already resulted in school closures as northern Scotland, north-east England and parts of north and east Yorkshire were blanketed in up to 6in of snow.

Forecasters have issued further heavy snow warnings for those areas, the East Midlands, the East of England, south-west England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Dustings were expected elsewhere in the Midlands and London into the weekend and all motorists were alerted to the dangers of black ice.

Sporting fixtures, including some FA Cup matches, could be affected and Saturday’s horse racing at Newcastle has been called off.

This does mean Bad news for football fans, with the Scottish referees on strike, and now the snow could cancel Matches!

However this snow could take your mind off all of the football, as it is enjoyable, and if we do get 10 inches of snow. We're in for a great Month!
