Frosty the snowman won’t be making an appearance on the lawn this Christmas as forecasters predict that Ireland will not see the snow this holiday season.
Despite a distinct lack of the white stuff forecasters have predicted a Baltic December much colder than average.
Speaking to The Mirror, Netweather meteorologist said: “Our forecasts obviously change on a daily basis and are constantly being updated but at this point we’re saying at best there’s a 20 per cent chance of snow in Ireland over Christmas.

However, the Christmas forecast has been welcomed by both motorists and Santa alike who don’t have to worry about icy roads and freezing conditions during the most wonderful time of the year.
