and lying snow projections are significantly different between the new and original UKCP Local results, due to fixing the error and the snowpack science improvements. For these variables, the original 2.2km projections are considered unreliable and should not be used. † Note that the “RCPs
since the 1960s. • For the period 2061-2080, under a high emissions scenario (RCP8.5), the Regional (12km) and Local (2.2km) projections show a decrease in both falling and lying snow across the UK relative to the 1981-2000 baseline. In general, the decreases are smaller in both falling and lying snow

We also analyse the data from our observing stations around the UK to provide a complete picture of where snow has fallen or was lying on Christmas Day. How likely is a white Christmas? We
persistent snow showers resulted in significant accumulations across eastern England and Scotland. Daytime temperatures struggled to rise above freezing, and, combined with the wind, resulted in severe wind-chill, particularly on the exposed east coast. Much of eastern Scotland experienced deep lying

. However, lower lying areas were also affected and the snow increasingly spread to other parts of the UK, so that by early December many areas of the UK were under lying snow. Temperatures struggled to rise above freezing during the day and there were very severe frosts at night. Temperatures widely
