Christmas Day 1938 was a white Christmas across many parts of the UK, indeed apart from Christmas Day 1981, it was the deepest and most widespread Christmas snow of the 20th Century. The day itself was largely dry with just the odd snow flurry as most of the UK was under the influence of a ridge from Scandinavia, the run up to Christmas was cold and snowy especially in the south with an easterly to northeasterly wind bringing frequent snow showers especially to the east. Depths of snow was widely between 15 to 30cm and this drifted in the wind.

18th-25th December: -1.1

Beautiful weather, and aside from the precipitation, a vagely similar setup to the one we have now.
