"Biting winds sweeping in from the Arctic are expected to bring eight inches of snow to the north and east by Thursday while six inches will hit the south by the weekend.
Long term forecasters predicted that snow on Christmas Day was now a “forgone conclusion” with most of Britain from Scotland and the north, through to London and the south-east likely to be coated in white.
But the renewed cold weather could leave many families without presents as suppliers and postal services struggle under the strain.
It has been claimed that the combination of 50mph blasts and eight inches of snow could even lead to snow drifts blocking roads and railways, cutting off villages and schools."
