Aberdeen tops the betting odds to see snow with Scottish cities leading the way
We're just a week away from Christmas and bookmakers continue to odds on where we will see a White Christmas this year with cold weather continuing up and down the UK.
Aberdeen leads the way in the latest betting market to see snow this Christmas with Edinburgh and Glasgow following just behind in the odds with a White Christmas showing big potential in Scotland.
Last year, Scotland officially saw a White Christmas in parts of the country with both Tulloch Bridge and Aviemore recording snowflakes on December 25.
William Hill says there's a 50% chance that we see snow falling in Aberdeen this year despite the latest weather predictions pointing towards a brighter day next week.

What the expert says..
Newcastle favourites to see snow falling on Christmas in England
With the cold weather snap expected to appear towards the top of the UK, it's Newcastle that are favourites out of English cities to see snow falling on Christmas Day this year.
Bookies give an implied probability of 36.4% of snow hitting Newcastle next week with Belfast the next favourite out of the UK cities that feature in the odds list.
Earlier this week the Met Office said that we will see Wind and Rain hit the UK next week with chances of snow hitting the north and we should see better predictions in the coming days as we get closer to Christmas.
