I don't think even the most hard-line snow lover would want
a snowy Easter!

I think you'll find that the bookies will offer much shorter odds on a white
Easter than a white Xmas. Especially if my experiences in this country are
anything to go by. Not sure these days, but I think it's 12-1 in favour of
Easter.

I'm unclear. Do you mean that a white Easter is twelve times as likely
as a white Christmas - which I find hard to believe - or that the
bookies will offer 12-1 against a white Easter (in which case it's
longer odds rather than shorter)?
