We opened our curtains nervously but we think we've escaped largely unscathed."December 2010 will be remembered as a blockbuster time for snow bets. As the nation was snowed in, they logged on for a monster festive flutter but most of those bets have turned to sludge."Locations have until 23.59 on Christmas Day to experience snow.
