“If November ice will bear a duck, there’ll be nothing after but sludge and muck” - so the old weather saying goes.
November didn’t produce any ice in Ireland of any note this year, so going by that old saw we can expect a colder December and January.
December has already given us an icy blast - with the phenomenon of thundersnow experienced in Scotland, and ice-cold weather general all over Ireland.
Stalker is not sure what the odds are on a white Christmas this year, but they're bound to be better than the odds on a Brexit deal that isn’t painful all round.
