Countdown to Christmas: Dreaming of a white Christmas

countdown to christmas dreaming of a white christmas

It has been 15 years since the last white Christmas, back then the average UK house price was £188,070. The average UK house price now stands at £281,619, a 50% increase.

The last widespread snowy white Christmas was in December 2010 when snow fell at 19% of the 300 or so weather stations, and very unusually, 83% of stations reported snow lying on the ground. That means between then and now house prices have grown an average of 2.7% a year.

The possibility of festive snowfall varies a lot by location, with much better odds the further north and the higher up. Places which are statistically most likely to get a white Christmas are northern and eastern Scotland, northern England, north Wales and the north-west Midlands.
