    Place a bet that by sunday the synoptics will have changed. We are still in the realms of F1. So lets not draw to conclusions too quickly. I still think we have a potential surprise in store.

    Once these things start to go pear shaped, well I don't ever recall it being pulled back, at least not here.
    Oh well, plenty of time for reloads, this roller coaster isn't done yet!

    Looking unlikely for snow on the 25th, still a bit early to say, if anywhere will have a chance its high ground in the northwest, but not looking great at the moment.

    After the 25th still looking interesting but a long way to go.

    It may feel a bit like a white Christmas if there's a thick frost in the morning, at least you'd be looking out on something white although not snow. Slight chance from current guidance of a few light flurries in parts of the northwest perhaps, but things are very uncertain past about mid-day 23rd at this point, would not want to write off chances altogether yet.

    mt nobody has a clue about the weather these ridiculous threads should be closed down, them models "predicting" snow at 5 30 pm on jan 21st or whatever are a load of crap.

    Christmas is on the 25th of December is it not? This is the white Christmas chat thread remember... 6 days away not over a month.

    also i do NOT think Xmas day will have snow but like you say MT it will be cold so frost and a dry day in general wouldnt be too bad.

    A lot of the FI snow gets pulled back once the date arrives and on previous runs the 26th to 28th were looking a snow fest, now just the 27th. In Ireland when we get snow it tends to be for a few hours or a day or two since Climate change kicked in big time.

    With the exception of 2010 of course. A truly exceptional year in terms of snow. It would be a lot to expect a repeat

    Well, 4 days out its pretty much set in stone that Christmas day will be cold with frosts to start and end the day (will be an ice day in North facing areas methinks). With the possibility of snow in the days that follow I must say I'd be very happy with that any Christmas.....

    See:-

    ECM0-96sjv7_mini.png

    and

    gfs-1-108eym8_mini.png

    Very seasonal.

    In fact, according to MT, there might be a few, generally in the NW, who could even get an official White Christmas. Will keep an eye on that....

    ECM showing a slight chance of wintry showers in Donegal early on Christmas morning. Should be a dry day pretty much everywhere else though.

    At least you got good odds. 40-1 is in fact very generous - up North I suspect you get a technical white Christmas every decade anyway. You sometimes hear of guys getting 3-1 and the like!

    In any event, I wouldn't 100% rule out some snow during the 24hr period in question in your neck of the woods.....
