It better be otherwise im gonna be very annoyed.

I always check the sky. I said to my dad i think its going to snow soon and he said
"nah just rain clouds" ARRRGGHH

It probably will, even if we are not wading in it we could at least get a foots worth...come on its christmas next weekend for crying out loud.

I think it'd be cool if we did, I can't see it happening myself here in Sheffield. I remember having snow over the xmas holidays when I was little, hope it happens - despite the enevitable traffic chaos.

60% chance according to this:
Metcheck (http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/whitechristmas.asp)

Meh, they do this every year.. It's all a con designed by the Bookies to get people to bet on the likelyhood of a white Christmas :loopy:

And iirc there has only been 2 white Christmasses in my whole 29 and a half (just over) years of life, can't remember what years they were though.

Hmmm, every county has the exact same chance of a white christmas according to that site. I wouldn't hold your breath

I read somewhere that the problem with the met office is if just a single snowflake lands on their HQ its classed as a white christmas. Which is no good to the rest of the country if it stays dry.

thats not quite correct..

Its if a single snow flake lands ontop of the GMT building (the clock one) - then its 'officially' classed as a white christmas.

I can see the reasons why the MET office does it that way though.

Without a set place the predictions and results would vary for every part of the country. Especially for Sheffield!

How would you verify if it snowed in your locality on Christmas day, lasted for an hour and was washed away by rain by lunchtime?
