Some years ago (I disremember exactly when), the UK Meteorological Office changed the definition of what qualified as a 'white Christmas'. Previously, there had to be snow lying on the ground at ANY weather observation station at 9:00 AM on Christmas Day. Now, if a worker at any station reports a single snowflake falling from the sky at any time during the twenty four hours of Christmas Day, it is officially recorded as a 'white Christmas'.
So, if you're planning a holiday trip to Britain in the hopes of some Dickensian-style Yule with heaps of fluffy white snow, brace yourself for disappointment. Or go to Scotland, the odds are much better.
