Statistically, just going on past climate records, your chances of a report of 'snow lying' at 9am in Dublin Airport any day around that time of year are around 30/1. I see the bookies give 7/1 or thereabouts, so I wouldn't back it.

Massive NO this year!

Yeeeee of little Faith :rolleyes:

Feck this "snow lying" malarky and airports
, A white christmas involves real thick snow, Like 95 a good few inches. Sadly they are few and far between.

Well let's look back at the past 10 years, we had a white christmas 1999, 5 years later a white christmas 2004 and now 5 years have past so I wouldn't say no to a white christmas in 2009:D

It'll snow, fo sho!

howlinwolf

hey guys.......i no its a few weeks off yet but was just wondering(hoping) if the weather over the christmas period is showing any signs of snow:). or are we in for another mild xmas day........even a hard frost would be nice for our snow starved country........ all forecast models welcome even the ones that change every day:).......

First indications about won't be available for another few days as most forecasting models go up to 2 weeks from each day so actually it'll be another week before you get the first tentative indicators. I've seen a few longer range forecasts going for a big cool down later in December but the historical odds strongly favour a green Christmas.

The truth is we will not know untill 4 or 5 days before. This is because the models are highly unreliable outside this timeframe.

Just to get you in the mood:

I also recommend checking out "the snowman" on youtube hehehehehe

Netweather.tv have a % chance of snow on christmas day. Checked it last week and it was 15%, just checked again now and it's 25%!

the period before xmas may see snow but xmas day itself may come at the end of this cold spell

So based on your scientific calculation it'll snow for sure

That bets sounds a bit unlikely ok, it usually has to 1mm snow reported by the Met. Who is going to be able to verify a snowflake?
PaddyPower.com is giving the same odds of 7/2 for snow in Dublin on Xmas day with verification of 1mm from Met eireann at Dublin Airport.
