I'm not a betting man, but if I was I'd go for Leeds at 7/2 with
Ladbrokes.

10/1 for Penzance seems very reasonable :-)

But how often does Penzance actually have a white Christmas?



I'm sure Graham Easterling can tell us but a lot less than one year in
10 I'm sure!

Well, since 1990 (last 25 years) snow has not fallen on Christmas day.

A few near misses though:-
23/12/2001 Snow fell.
27/12/2005 Eve Snow hail shower briefly settled. Max temp 4.7C Min 0.4C
22/12/2010 Snow pellet shower gave an icy dusting Max Temp 4.3C Min -3.0
23/10/2010 Snow/hail showers briefly settled. Max Temp 4.0C Min -1.3

Snow falling is not as rare as you might think, as we are surrounded by warm sea, so we get precipitation on virtually all northerlies (when it's often virtually cloudless east of the Tamar) & many easterlies, which can give very heavy snow, as in 1987 http://www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/1987Snow.pdf
