Snow maps have shown the exact day a huge 550-mile wall of snow is set to hit the UK as the British Isles are hardly visible.
WXCharts predicts that snow will affect the east coast of East Anglia at 6pm on January 1, all the way through the East Midlands, including Lincolnshire, Derby, Leicester and Nottingham; Birmingham and the top of Wales.
The Irish Sea will also be hit, including the Isle of Man.
Before the coast, Manchester and the wider north west of England, including Leeds, Preston, Burnley and Liverpool are also included in the snow wave.
Further up, Lancashire, Yorkshire, the Lake District and Carlisle, as well as the western Scottish borders are to be impacted, according to the forecaster.

Most of Scotland will be hit, according to WXCharts, from Edinburgh in the south to Inverness and Aberdeen further north.
But a section of the country west of Wick, Thurso, at the very top of the country looks set to escape the weather at 6am.
