New photo UK weather forecast – Bitter 65mph winds to freeze out New Year celebrations and January will be hit with SNOW

SNOW and a bitter winds are set to bring new year misery for Brits.

Weather forecasters say there is a “real and ominous” threat of snow in the first week of January – and warnings of a THREE MONTH deep freeze to follow.

The new year will start with snow fall and a deep freeze, according to forecasters

Those venturing out to see in 2019 will want to wrap up, with 65mph winds due in northern Scotland, rain across northern England and freezing fog in the south.

And people in parts of the north will have their celebrations dampened by temperatures only a shade above freezing.

The “Beast from the East” will bring snow and high winds to the UK, with a 70 per cent chance of crashing temperatures all the way through March, a Met Office forecaster said.

Blanketing snow will be a distinct possibility as the mercury plummets, with bookies slashing odds on snowfall as early as New Year’s Day.

Coral has shortened the odds on snow falling on the first day of 2019 — with Edinburgh and Glasgow on at just 6-4.

And experts say the deep freeze could continue for months, with below average temperatures all the way to spring.

Forecaster Mark Wilson said the Contingency Planning Forecast – which is used by the government to prep for extreme weather – was predicting the first three months of the year were likely to be much frostier than normal.

And Met Office spokesman Simon Partridge said when a similar three-month forecast was issued at the start of last year, those predictions came starkly true.

He said: “Last year there was widespread snow across many parts of the UK and temperatures were well below average.

“There’s a higher chance of seeing colder spells, and given that, as a result, there’s a slightly higher chance of snow across the UK.

“It’s far too early to say in any detail, it might be that parts of Scotland which usually get snow will get more, or you might see snow spread more widely.”

Ex-BBC and Met Office forecaster John Hammond of weathertrending said: “The chance of very cold and potentially snowy weather is real and ominous.

“There is the potential for significant snowfall from January 7, with odds stacked towards cold weather by January 14.

“There is potential for severe wintry conditions from the [Sudden Stratospheric Warming], with bitter easterlies.

“We will see a more prolonged spell of cold weather than so far this winter.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
