White St Patrick’s Day is snow joke

FORGET the rub of the green — Ireland’s most famous amateur weatherman has predicted that the country could be turning white come St Patrick’s Day.

Postman Michael Gallagher said snow is on the way and a severe cold front could continue right up until the end of March and into April.

Michael, from Glenfin, Co Donegal, has been right about the arrival of both sun and snow for years now and even wrote a best-selling book on his predictions, called Traditional Weather Signs.
