Will it snow at Christmas in 2020?
The Met Office has a yellow weather warning for snow and ice in Scotland on Christmas Eve - but no such warning for Christmas Day itself.
Snow has already fallen in northern parts of England - on December 23 - hitting Lanehead, County Durham, and causing chaos on the A686 Hartside to Alston route in Cumbria.
However, the forecast for Friday, December 25, states it will be fine and dry with some sunshine for many.

When was the last White Christmas in the UK?
Technically, 2017 was the last white Christmas in the UK, but no snow settled on the ground. This also happened in 2016 and 2015.
The last "proper" white Christmas was in 2010, when the highest ever recorded amount of weather stations reported snow settling - 83%!
Another 19% of weather stations reported sleet, so it truly was a miracle for almost all of the nation.
What are the White Christmas lyrics?
Bing Crosby's holiday classic from 1942 describes the scene many are wishing for:
"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
"Just like the ones I used to know
"Where the treetops glisten
"And children listen
"To hear sleigh bells in the snow
"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
"With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry and bright
"And may all your Christmases be white
"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
"Just like the ones I used to know
"Where the treetops glisten
"And children listen
"To hear sleigh bells in the snow
"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
"With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry and bright
"And may all your Christmases be white"
