The Old White Christmas Rumours Are Swirling Again

We have a feeling we'll probably be disappointed

We dream of a white Christmas every year but most of the time we end up disappointed.

And we know it’s WAY too early to get excited and these latest predictions will probably turn out to be untrue but we can’t help it.

Exacta Weather meteorologist James Madden told the Irish Mirror:  “It’s too early to call with precise accuracy due to the standard deviations that we need to allow for with the weather.

“But Ireland is likely to see a number of potentially significant or severe wintry blasts in December and one of those wintry blasts could actually coincide with the festive period to deliver an official white Christmas to certain parts of Ireland.

“Northern and eastern parts of the country would be the most likely to have a white Christmas.” (Road trip?)

He added that the beginning of November will be mild but “more wintry conditions” will become prominent as the month goes on.

Last week bookies slashed the odds of Ireland getting snowfall on December 25th (which is only 56 days away people!).
