New weather maps show the majority of the UK under a huge blanket of snow and rain next week.<\/p>\n

A weather expert has also confirmed that we should brace ourselves for snow and freezing temperatures saying that the UK will be \u201cbetween the fridge and the freezer\u201d for the next ten days.<\/p>\n

The Polar snow bomb has already been predicted to grip the UK – particularly across the north.<\/p>\n

And the new maps by WX Charts appear to confirm the sub zero predictions, with images showing the 560 miles – from Southampton to Aberdeen – to be hit by snow and rain mostly across central areas on Thursday, December 7.<\/p>\n

The blanket of snow and rain depicted on the map misses the top of Scotland from Inverness upwards and the south east of the UK, including London.<\/p>\n

Jim Dale, senior meteorologist at British Weather Services, said: \u201cBasically we are between the fridge and the freezer for the next 10 days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be snow – Scotland hogging it especially the high ground, as per.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome bits and pieces for eastern counties of England which may get a few people excited.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the rest of the UK it truly is a watching and waiting game, mainly dealing with icy mornings\u2026until something not yet seen comes along.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Dale said that if you\u2019re after an escape to warmer climes that Spain could be the place to jet off to.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWinter (when it starts) could well be very long and eventful given the current set up over Scandinavia and now much of Europe.<\/p>\n
