Christmas weather 2019: Odds of Dublin Airport being covered in blanket of snow cut following flurry of bets

There's loads of us dreaming of a White Christmas - and if betting trends are anything to go by, it's looking good.

While Ireland is set to get colder next week, with temperatures dropping to -3C according to Met Eireann, there's still some way to go to the festive season.

But a flurry of bets in recent days has pushed Boylesports to let the odds of Christmas snow at Dublin Airport fall down to 9/2 - quite a cut from 14/1 earlier in the week.

Hopefully the weather gods listen to the punters, because we'd love to build a snowman on Christmas day!

Sarah Kinsella from BoyleSports said: “Temperatures have returned to normal over the last week after some cold days in November, but our traders are taking no chances and have started to freeze the odds on a White Christmas.

"Punters latched onto the odds of snow falling at Dublin Airport on December 25th and its now a 9/2 chance from 10/1.

"Belfast is also getting excited about its chances of snow with the odds trimmed into 15/2 from 10/1.”
