Snow warning extended from Scotland to east Midlands

Met Office yellow alert stretches south to Derbyshire and eastwards to Durham and Northumberland

Parts of England from the east Midlands to the north-east have joined Scotland in preparing for blizzard-like conditions on Boxing Day, as the white Christmas continues.

One of the Met Office's yellow warnings was expanded to include an area from the Scottish borders to Derbyshire, as well as further east over Durham and Northumberland, due to the increased chance of snow accumulating over the southern Pennines overnight.
