The map also indicates snow will continue to fall over large parts of the country throughout December 12, before it eases of at midday on December 13.
But the horrible weather won’t stop there, as a bitter -7C cold blast is set to hit central Scotland in the early hours of December 14.
Additionally the Met Office’s long-range weather forecast for December 12 to 26 suggests that the weather will become less settled again, with the west or northwesterly areas preferred.
This could bring rain and wind "with a risk of some snow, especially across northern hills", as these conditions are likely to continue through to Christmas and New Year.
