But after lengthy discussions today with the Met office Hills have been
assured that advances in technology make it possible for them to provide a
result anywhere in London not just on the met office roof. As a result
Hills have moved the London snow result to Buckingham Palace and the
surrounding area for which they are presently offering 8/1."


8-1?
What measely odds!
I wonder what the *real* odds are based on statistical analysis
of snow falling in central London, rather than those offered by
bookies who need to make a profit and also mindful of the fact
that nobody ever takes the reverse bet on it *not* being a
white Christmas.

25-1? 33-1 even?
