A White Christmas could be on the cards to lift spirits at the end of the year, as temperatures drop just in time for Santa’s sleigh to get a smooth run this year. Polar conditions are predicted to cover the entire country well into next week with bookies now slashing the odds for snow on Christmas Day.

Cork County Council has urged motorists to “exercise extreme caution” when travelling in this weather. They made no comment in relation to flying sleighs, however.
