We look at the bookmakers early predictions for a White Christmas in the UK
There may still be 73 days until Christmas Day but Selfridges have had their decorations up for months and there is only eleven more Saturdays until the big day. Therefore, we don’t think it’s too early to start talking about the C word.
Every year the bookies give their predictions for snowfall on Christmas Day and allow the British public to have a bet. This year is no different and bookmakers have installed Aberdeen as 7/4 favourites to see snow on the 25th. Below are the odds and implied chances of each city:
