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?

indicates around 10/1 for London.

As for the reverse bet, I think some do, err, allegedly.
