A fresh cold snap in early 2024 could bring with it a huge wall of snow, weather maps show. The data shows a sea of snow around 260 miles long sweeping the country on January 1. Met Office predictions currently say that snow is \u201cpossible\u201d in the north of England.<\/p>\n

However, WXCharts, which uses data from Met Desk, appears to predict snow for many parts of the Midlands and even the south of Britain on the first day of the new year. The wave of the white stuff, which could reach more than 2cm in some parts of the country, is set to come later on in the day on January 1, current predictions show.<\/p>\n

While other maps show that temperatures could reach as low as \u20138C in Scotland, with sub-zero levels predicted for much of the rest of the country.<\/p>\n

The Met Office predicted a wintry system which could carry snow, although they were less sure that the white stuff will fall anywhere other than the highest parts of the north. This year\u2019s Christmas period has so far been \u201ctypical\u201d, the weather agency said.<\/p>\n

So far, its forecast for December has been largely accurate, with unseasonably mild temperatures and occasional rain showers following an initial cold snap.<\/p>\n

But as the festive months draws to a close the mercury will dip closer to zero. Some Brits will bring in the new year under \u201cwintry showers\u201d, the Met Office said.<\/p>\n

In its long range forecast for December 25 to January 3, the agency said: \u201cRain and drizzle should slowly clear from southern areas on Christmas Day leaving a mixture of sunny spells and showers, some of these turning wintry over high ground in the north.<\/p>\n
