With December 25 less than a month away, bookies have set the odds on whether there will be a White Christmas in Essex.
Bookmakers at Betway reckon there's an 11/2 chance that snow will fall at Stansted Airport this Christmas.
The prospect of snow seems far more likely in Edinburgh and Glasgow (3/1), Leeds (100/30), and even Lincoln and Birmingham, both 100 miles away (5/1).
Only Cardiff fares less of a chance of a White Christmas than Stansted, where the odds are 13/2.
Weather experts offer varying forecasts for the month ahead.
The Met Office says the period from December 10 - Christmas Eve (December 24) will be "unsettled", although southern England is due a settled spell towards the middle of this period with a chance of frost and fog.
TheWeatherOutlook says it will likely be too mild for snow in the south, forecasting a "green Christmas".
