Does $X_{n} \to X$ almost surely imply that $Var[X_{n}] \to Var[X]?$
I saw this post
convergence in mean square implies convergence of variance
which states that $X_{n} \to X$ in $L^{2}$ implies that $Var[X_{n}] \to Var[X]$ but does that still hold if the convergence is almost surely instead of $L^{2}$?
Many thanks in advance.
Take $U \sim$ Uniform$[0,1]$. Let $$X_n := \sqrt{n} 1_{ \{U \leq \frac{1}{n} \} } - \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$$ Then $X_n \to 0$ a.s. But $$\mathbb V [ X_n] = 1 - \frac 1 n \to 1 \neq 0$$
