Weatherman gambles on 'no snow'
Weatherman Michael Fish has put his reputation on the line again - betting £1,000 that it will not snow on Christmas Day.
Fish, famous for his "what hurricane?" prediction in 1987, will donate his winnings to the Band Aid appeal.
The retired BBC forecaster is making the bet on odds of 14-5, for London.
He said: "I've been following the speculations with interest over the last few days and whilst I agree that it is looking probable that it will snow in the north, it's not so likely in London.
