White Christmas ‘is a possibility’
Tuesday 15th December 2009, 12:05PM GMT.
Forecasters are predicting a “better than evens” chance of a white Christmas in parts of Britain as snow showers look set to hit by the end of the week.
Shropshire Star weatherman John Warner said there was a “60 per cent chance” of a white Christmas in the county as the cold weather looked set to stretch into next week.
He said: “Thursday is going to be very cold and there is a chance of snow showers, though I don’t think we are going to get a great deal of snow. It will get icy on Wednesday and Thursday night as temperatures could fall as low as -4 C .
“The cold weather is set to continue right through to Christmas Day so there is, I would say, around a 60 per cent chance of a white Christmas at the moment. It’s a better than evens chance.”
Meanwhile West Mercia Police is urging motorists not to leave their vehicles running and unattended as they defrost them to avoid the risk of opportunist theft.
