Traditional family walks to help the turkey go down could be off the cards this year as December 25 is set to be the coldest Christmas ever. The mercury plummeted to -5.9C at Glenlivet in 1996, but that record was smashed last night when temperatures dropped to -17C at Worcester and -18C at Altnaharra in northern Scotland. And just as people will be thinking about heading home on Boxing Day, more snow will fall in the afternoon across England and Scotland bringing new misery to those who want to travel. Weather forecasters say they are expecting 'heavy and prolonged snowfall' in some parts of the country, particularly from the Midlands up to southern and central parts of Scotland. That will continue throughout Monday when it will head towards the South East and it will keep falling into Tuesday morning. (Daily Mail)Saturday 25 December 2010
