Unfortunately for us, it is most likely to snow between January and March! However, if you are not a big fan of the snow then that would be perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When was the last White Christmas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last White Christmas was in the UK in 2010, Met Office reports it was extremely unusual! Not only was there snow on the ground, it was the highest amount ever recorded! If you can remember in 2009, we had a White Christmas then, with snow or sleet falling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How likely is a White Christmas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We can&#8217;t tell until 5 days before Christmas if it&#8217;s going to snow on Christmas Day or not. However, we can find out the statistical likelihood of snow based on climatology. \u00a0Said by the Met Office; &#8220;We know that a snowflake has fallen somewhere in the UK on\u00a0Christmas Day 38 times in the last 54 years, so we can probably expect more than half of all Christmas Days to be a White Christmas.&#8221; Why not discover the chances of snow falling in your home town &#8211;\u00a0Simply add your post code <a href=\"http:\/\/www.willigetawhitechristmas.com\/\">here<\/a> to see if you will get a White Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your home town is not affected by the White Christmas bug this year, don&#8217;t be down, you can always replace snow fall with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blossominggifts.com\/christmas\/christmas-flowers\">festive white bouquet<\/a>! Bring the snow inside your home and create your own White Christmas. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White Christmas yay or nay?
