    How can it be this mild on a December evening?
    Daffodils and Snowdrops are popping up apparently all over the place.What other effects will this weather have on wildlife?
    Can we expect swarms of Bees and hoards of wasps come the summer?

    As long as it stays dry I don't mind it being mild.

    there was a bumble bee flying around our house on Christmas Day 3 years ago.. I think it was 13C.

    The yellow Whin bushes are starting to blossom here already, and we have 2 Italian Alders which haven't lost any leaves yet. I mean they are still completely green. We haven't had one night of frost yet either.

    Always have the fear that it means we are going to get a real cold January. Hope I am wrong though :)

    They always do. Every fúcking year. Never believe any long range weather forecast in the tabloids. It's impossible to forecast Ireland's weather more than 3/4 days ahead, unless there's a high pressure building over the country.

    They were. And last year, and the year before that, and then the year before that, and the year before that. All of which were exceptionally mild winters

    No. Come summer it'll be the same as it is now. About 13c and raining.

    El Niño is back so there's going to be a lot of weather next year round the world.

    This year is the hottest on record. And next year will be even hotter.

    Warmer weather means more rain for us.

    If I never saw snow, frost, sleet, or any other kind of cold weather again for the rest of my life, I'd die happy.

    It's good preparation for Hell, after all.

    It's not global warming just to let you know. It's just a change of a low warm pressure system coming up from Africa with the migrants that is the cause, nothing unusual about it. Be warned though, early indications suggest it will get really cold with ice and snow on the 31st of december.

    I just can't wait any longer. I have all the herbs and turkey ham and stuffing ready to be done. That's it, I have to start now and get the hard part out of the way called the stuffing. Then cook a late night christmas dinner tonight. There is no point in wasting another minute by losing mouth saliva. It's time.

    Those little cabbage Brussels sprouts are going on as well, amazingly tasty little cabbage bastards.
