He's worried that if it's not cold enough to make Rudolph's nose light up bright, he won't be able to deliver all the little boys and girls their Christmas gifts this year.

Not freaked out because this is how I remember Decembers used to be like. The frosty or snowy ones were few and far in between. We're in a mild climate.

Sorry, Scopper. But, when I read the title of this thread, I thought: " Moist "

That was it. It was all Nigella Lawson from there on in

This winter has been less dramatic so far.

Ireland doesn't do 10-day forecasts. Our climate is very unpredictable: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-17223307
