Brace yourselves folks as UK weather meteorologists are predicting a blanket of snow to cover the UK within the next 24 hours.

After Storm Bella battered Britain overnight, inches of snow could be ahead.

An arctic blast is reportedly heading our way, with temperatures expect to plunge to or below freezing overnight.

Snow has already reached large areas of Scotland and in Cumbria.

However, it looks like the East and South-west of England, plus Wales, may just miss out on the snow.

Meanwhile, people living in Kent and East Sussex are being warned of further heavy rain.

It also fell in Suffolk and Humberside, with the Met Office confirming on Twitter:

“Morning everyone, we’ve just had official confirmation that this #Christmas is a white one!
