White Christmas odds
Many of us may dream of a White Christmas, and feel cheated should the promise of many Christmas cards not come true, but in reality it is quite a rare occurrence in the UK.
It was back in 2009 that London was deemed to have had snow on December 25, although only a single snowflake has to fall on the roof of the Met Office building.
