Britain 'faces coldest night in 25 YEARS? as bookies slash odds of White Christmas

**super jumbe** · 28th November, 2016, 09:08 PM

Monday could be the coldest November night in almost 25 years as temperatures plummet towards ?8C.

In rural areas, temperatures will drop below ?6C (21.2F), while towns and cities ? including London ? may see the mercury dip to ?3C, with the south bearing the brunt of it.

The last time it reached ?8C in autumn was on November 22 1993.

Sophie Yeomans, from the Met Office, said: ?It?s going to be fairly cold for the next few days ? It will be colder down south than up in Scotland on Monday and Tuesday due to the clear skies.?

Ladbrokes is offering odds of 2/1 for snow in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow; in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, it is offering odds of 3/1 for snow in Newcastle upon Tyne and Belfast.

It is offering odds of 4/1 for London and 5/1 for Liverpool and Manchester.

In Years of waiting I think this will be very close to a true widespread white Christmas for the UK, Oh well, all we need is 25mm of snow and England/Scotland will grind to a halt as usual!!!

No, all you need is a single flake to fall in London before panic sets in and the government declares that the whole of the UK is snowbound and buried under snow.

Why not they already charge you to remove water when your home gets flooded despite the water being 'owned' by the water companies. Not only that but they expect you to claim on your insurance for damage the water companies water does to your house.
