I believe it's about 13-1.

Really? I am surprised.
So does that mean that on average snow falls in central
London twice in December?

If the odds are 13:1 against snow falling on krismus day in central
London, how could that mean it would snow twice in December?

I'm assuming (big assumption I know) that the odds of it snowing on any
other day in December are also 13-1.
Now if there were 26 days in December, I know there aren't but bear with
me here, does that not mean that on average there should be 2 days in
December where snow actually falls?
OK December has 31 days so that should mean slightly more than 2
days with snow. However the chances of snow in early December must
be significantly less than later in the month so this would reduce
the number of snow days.



But no one gave the odds of snow in December, at least, not that I
noticed.

Or am I just getting my statistics in a twist here

As if (-:

Statistics abuse!
