A cold weather alert has been issued - with a warning that more than four inches of snow could fall in some areas on Boxing Day.
The Met Office said the conditions could "increase the health risks to vulnerable patients and disrupt the delivery of services".
According to the alert, there is an 80% probability of "severe cold weather/icy conditions/heavy snow between 3pm on Friday and 12am on Wednesday in parts of England".
"Snow is likely in some northern and central areas, more especially on hills, with some significant accumulations possible," it said.
"There is also an increasing signal for snow to affect some southern areas. The areas currently at greatest risk are parts of the Midlands, and southern parts of northern England."
Sky News weather producer Rebecca Yussuf said the cold weather and snow may cause disruption to travel plans.
"There is a risk of several centimetres of snow falling even at low levels, with as much as 10cm possible in places," she said.
"There is still quite a lot of uncertainty with the forecast, but much of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic are likely to see some very wet and windy weather.
"Heavy rain and strong winds will move eastwards across the Republic, southern England and Wales during Boxing Day morning, but may turn to sleet and snow over the Midlands and southern parts of northern England during the afternoon.
"It will turn notably colder after the rain and snow clears, with overnight frosts and temperatures struggling to get much above zero.
"The very young, the elderly and those with illnesses may be badly affected by these colder conditions, so if you know anybody who falls into these categories, take a moment to look in on them over the next few days."
