After a white Christmas, Scots will be treated to more snow in the lead up to the new year.Snow and icy weather will hit parts of the UK in the coming days as a result of a jet stream of frozen air moving in from the Atlantic.The Met Office reports the deep freeze in the US is helping fuel 'powerful' jet streams headed toward the UK.
Forecasters say that the UK is in for "unsettled" conditions in the lead up to New Year's Day partly due to the cold air sweeping in from America.Parts of the US have recently been subjected to dangerous snow storms, particularly in upstate New York.
While the extreme weather has resulted in fatalities, the UK will likely not experience these serious conditions.The fast-flowing current will land in the UK on Thursday, according to the Met Office.Met Office spokesperson Nancy Nicola Maxey told the Daily Record: "Because of the jet stream, what we are seeing is wet and windy weather, so we're seeing quite a lot of rain for most of the UK as we go through the next few days into the new year." She continued: "But for the far north and for Scotland, we're going to see some snow over the Scottish mountains, while hill snow will clear through northern Scotland tonight."And then tomorrow again, some more snow falling over the hills of northern Scotland, while on Thursday could see one to three centimetres of snowfall on elevated roads above 400m.
Finally for Saturday, we are seeing see snowfall across high ground and north of the central belt."Weather maps from WXCharts indicate a chilly jet stream will result in snowfall in Scotland through to New Year's Day.
