Dreaming of a white Christmas in Bury St Edmunds? Dream on!

Four days to Christmas - and any hope of it being a white one is next to non existant. Despite the slightest flurry of snow last Thursday morning in town, there's little chance of snow falling on Sunday.

Tempratures have risen this week and, although they're going to dip over the weekend, they'll be far too warm for it too snow.

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be 11C in town with little sunshine while on Saturday and Sunday we should see plenty of sun with a daytime temperature of 6C. Bookmakers William Hill have odds on White Christmases around the country - the nearest one to Bury is in Cambridge and it's 8/1 that snow falls in Cambridge on Christmas Day.
