There was a light dusting of snow that Christmas morning and it looked beautiful against the deep blue skies. Cold but beautiful.

Cheers Kev , this place would be in melt down with that m given the current climate lol

Actually it was all over the news and made headlines throughout the Christmas period, Shetland was snowbound for a week and Northern Scotland was isolated from the rest of the Country for days.

The severe cold continued until New Year, a lot of pipes froze in buildings left unheated during the break.
Newcastle's water supply was interrupted due to the large number of burst pipes and reduced pressure.

According to my records, all we got here on Christmas Day was a brief light snow flurry during the afternoon.  It certainly was very cold though here, only reaching +1C on Christmas Day, and falling to -5C at night.   On Boxing Day we had a dusting from a snow shower with a max of only 0C and min of -7C.  It was a very sunny Christmas period though.

My favourite Christmas weather day up visiting the folks in the Central Highlands. All out blizzard with drifting horizontal powder snow suddenly clearing at lunchtime to a bright, calm but very cold afternoon. Around 6 inches level snow but deep drifts. Funnily enough where we were the roads were virtually clear as the snow was so fine it just blew off. 

Have seen deeper lying snow several times at Christmas but nothing beats watching it fall on the day itself.

I wasn't paying that much attention to the weather forecasts back then (mid-20's, only mine & the [now] wife's second Xmas in our first house... I had other priorities!).

So, when we woke on Xmas morning & there was a covering of snow everywhere, it was pretty special. We drove the 5 or so miles to my mum & dad's - I remember the roads being like a skating rink, and the skies absolutely cloudless - then later onto the in-laws.

Great Xmas memory
