The Met office has said there is a chance of Snow over higher ground in the UK. The Exeter based office has said the white weather is most likely to reach the north tomorrow and Sunday. No snow has been forecast for the Exeter area yet but the region is set to see sleet and very cold temperatures on Sunday and Monday. A forecaster said the outlook for Saturday to Monday is "A bright start on Saturday, but cloudier later. Rain on Sunday morning, followed by colder, brighter conditions with scattered blustery showers. Windy throughout, especially on Sunday." A recent study by the Met Office found that snow has fallen 38 times in the last 52 years - meaning we can expect around half of our Christmases to be 'white.' The onset of the colder weather has led Public Health England to think about their health during the cold snap - 25,000 extra people usually die in England during winter, with the elderly particularly vulnerable. However the traditional festive image of trees dusted in white, is more likely to be confined to Christmas cards. Snow settling on the ground is much rarer, and has happened just four times in the last 51 years. Predictions of snow and falling temperatures this month follows after a mild autumn and exceptionally warm year, with each month this year apart from August seeing above-average temperatures.Have a look at our top 11 pictures of snow in and around Exeter in the box above
