No contest!
The above chart is the latest forecast from GFS (the US Met Office with an annual budget of about US$6billion)
As you can see, they are predicting high pressure - not quite as high as I am predicting (about 20mb more). But hey, there are four days to go for them to change their mind and agree with the Mystic!
The upshot is, there should be no snow for Xmas day!

Shame about the temperature
If the pressure rises by 20mb, I'd actually be quite happy with the forecast....yes, a lot more work to do to get all parts of the forecast more accurate. Still, lets wait to Xmas day to see what the temps are like in reality. The main changes will come 36 hours before Xmas day.
Doesn't mean it will be like this on the Big Day, but I am pleased to see "US Met Office" has just issued this GFS forecast for Xmas day - they have upped the highest pressure in the UK from 1024 to 1032:
Another 12mb to go (to get to 1044)!
I'd also like to see some of that darker orange over the UK too!

CHRISTMAS DAY 25 DECEMBER 2010 - UK WEATHER FORECAST BY MYSTIC MADE ON 12/11/10
OVERVIEW
This day will be dominated by high pressure; there will be no snow and it will be a mild day with daytime temperatures varying from 6c to 10c
PRESSURE CHART
Overall for December 2010 in London
The average pressure for London during December 2010 will be around the 1028mb level. With the pressure for 25 December 2010 being at or close to the peak for the month at 1043mb.
UK pressure chart at 00:00 hrs 25 December 2010
The chart will be very simple. High pressure almost everywhere at the level of 1040mb, with only Northern Scotland (from about Edinburgh) reaching a wee bit lower pressure at 1035mb.
Between the UK and Iceland the isobars will be closely packed with pressures falling to around 1000mb at the low to the south west of Iceland.
UK pressure chart at 12:00 hrs 25 December 2010
The pressure will be highest in the south and south east of England with levels reaching about 1046mb; with London at a touch below that at about 1043mb.
From about Manchester up to the north of Scotland the isobars will become more closely packed, the further north they go; as the low from south west of Iceland moves towards the UK. The actual low is now over Iceland being around 995mb; the pressure levels will fall from around1040mb in Manchester to around 1020mb in the north east tip of Scotland.
UK pressure chart at 00:00 hrs 26 December 2010
The low from Iceland would have reached the west coast of Norway at about 62 degrees north and will stand at around 1000mb
The isobars across the UK will be relatively closely packed, with pressure ranging from about 1010mb in the north of Scotland to about 1040mb in the south western tip of Cornwall. London will have a pressure of around 1035mb
WIND
The winds will be coming from the south west. Reaching gale force in the northern parts of Scotland.
RAIN
England and Wales will be dry during the day.
There will be rain in Scotland from time to time, particularly in the north east side from around Edinburgh up to Aberdeen. Light rain may head south and reach about the east of Birmingham area during the evening/night.
SNOW
No snow at normal ground levels
TEMPERATURES
Day time: 6c-10c. The majority of the UK being around 6c-8c with only the extreme south west of England and the north west of Scotland perhaps reaching the highest temperatures of around 10c
Night time: 3c-6c. The majority of the UK being around 5c and the extreme south west of England hitting the highest temperatures of around 6c. So no frost.
SUN
It will peek through the clouds especially in the south east corner of England.
... as always, lets see what happens!
