Weather forecasters have identified the exact moment an Icelandic freeze will grip the UK.<\/p>\n

Maps and charts suggest the country is due another cold spell over the next week, with temperatures likely to descend back into the minus range ahead of Christmas.<\/p>\n

Snow and freezing rain are on the cards for thousands of Britons, especially those living in the north.<\/p>\n

Meteorologists have predicted that Scotland will bear the brunt of the coming cold spell as it slides south from the Arctic Circle.<\/p>\n

One forecaster has warned Britons could see the “whites of the Arctic\u2019s eyes” until New Year’s Day this year.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Express.co.uk, Jim Dale, the chief meteorologist and founder of British Weather Services, said Scotland would likely see snow in time for Christmas.<\/p>\n

The forecaster said that while the coming cold system will position itself over the home nation, “most other places” will also get a taste of the chilly weather.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI think Scotland is in the main frame for Christmas snow but it could well be the run into New Year\u2019s Day that we see the \u2018whites of the Arctic\u2019s eyes\u2019 for most other places.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maps from WXCharts looking at weather patterns high in the atmosphere back up the meteorologists’s predictions, showing a column of cold air descending from the north next week.<\/p>\n
