It's snow joke! Shoppers dreaming of a White Christmas need only to head into Colchester for a winter wonderland.

A snow machine at department store Williams and Griffin has been delighting shoppers since its arrival for the opening of the Christmas window.
It has been regularly churning out the white stuff since then, ensuring people do not have to rely on the weather for a festive snowfall.
The machine uses water to create an impression of snow falling, and runs on a regular basis complementing the festive window display.
A spokesman for the store said the machine was operating on a regular basis throughout the day during the run-up to Christmas.
