There is still a chance of a white Xmas for some in the North East, would definitely agree high ground being favourite for obvious reasons, however if the winds stay light lower ground might have a chance, hoping the boundary between the colder/milder air is further south and we might get snow on the back edge or from possible snow showers following from the North East - this is what I'm hoping for - what actually happens is very much up for grabs, here's hoping the ECM, UKMO follow this mornings GFS
