Will we be getting a white Christmas in Sheffield?

The last official white Christmas was in 2010, when snow was widespread across Northern Ireland, Scotland, parts of Wales, the Midlands, north-east and far south-west England.

But can we expect snow this Christmas? Until a few days before the big day it’s usually not possible to say with any certainty, but that doesn’t stop us taking a fun look ahead as we count down to December 25.

According to theweatheroutlook.com the probabilities of snow falling on Christmas Day are:

North of Yorkshire/Lancashire: 16%

South of Yorkshire/Lancashire: 8%

A spokesman said: “The regional Christmas weather predictions are updated daily using medium and long range forecast data. They may indicate very different prospects to the TWO forecast above. Who will be right?”
