Christmas Day 1970 was a white Christmas for a number of places in the UK especially in the southeast. High pressure was between Scotland and Iceland and this allowed a cold easterly flow across the UK.
This brought snow showers and with maxima close to freezing and as a result the snow settled. Snow depths by the end of the day were generally around 20cm over the higher hills of the SE to a few cms on the lower ground.
Snow showers did fall across other parts of the UK but south Wales and Northern Ireland missed out and parts of the West Country only had occasional snow showers.
