<p>Christmas Day got off to a freezing start across much of the country as overnight temperatures dropped to as low as minus 18C.</p>
<p>Some areas enjoyed a traditional white Christmas, with snow falling in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and north-east England.</p>
<p>Most parts of England, Wales and Northern Ireland were sunny and dry but daytime temperatures are set to remain below freezing.</p>
<p>Overnight the mercury dropped to minus 18C at Altnaharra in northern Scotland and minus 17C in Worcester.</p>
<p>Met Office forecaster Michael Lawrence said many shoppers will be able to leave their umbrellas at home as they head to the Boxing Day sales.</p>
<p>&#8220;Most of Britain will be a bit like today: mostly dry, bright and fine,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s becoming milder, and that is the theme for the next few days. We&#8217;re in a less colder blip, but it&#8217;s still below average for this time of year. Unless we get a protracted milder spell, it will keep getting relatively colder.&#8221;</p>
<p>But Northern Ireland is expected to get a wintry mixture of sleet, snow and rain, which could turn to ice as it falls on to cold ground.</p>
<p>Bookmakers were celebrating the limited snow as the biggest white Christmas gamble failed to come off.</p>
<p>Coral&#8217;s David Stevens said: &#8220;Fresh snowfall across the UK would have won punters a multimillion-pound Christmas present. However, with the exception of parts of Scotland and north east England, snow is in short supply and it looks like being a happy Christmas for the bookies.&#8221;</p>
