Last year I won £10 in a bet on the winter temperatures in Dorset -
specifically ( if I remember correctly) about the number of days we
would have night frosts. I was offered 10 consecutive days of frost at
night.
Apparently this time the wager is on ' a foot of snow for a week' here
in Milton Abbas. Well, I think this is a good one for me again so I am
going for this tomorrow!

What odds were you offered? I'd imagine that this has probably only
happened once or twice within the last fifty years or so. (If Milton
Abbas is near the coast, then it's possible that it hasn't happened at
all within that period.)
