and as we look to england, wales, and northern ireland, it's cloud, mist, fog, outbreaks of rain — but this is where temperatures will be staying above freezing, maybe a few spots in the far north of england could see temperatures getting close to freezing with a touch of frost. so for christmas day, then, scotland, after that cold frost, starts to see some sunshine. northern ireland, england, wales here with cloud and optics of rain edging further north and east, turning what are certainly in northern ireland during the afternoon. we could well see a bit of snow developing towards snowdonia and the peak district later in the day. now it is mild in the far southwest, but it's rather chilly elsewhere and a freshening breeze — it's coldest in scotland despite the sunshine. so on through saturday night, christmas day night into boxing day, this wet weather pushes north and meets cold air — and particularly in northern england and southern scotland, and especially the higher ground. we get some snow out of that, it may start blowing around in strong winds, as well, because this is where we've clearly got the coldest weather going into boxing day.
