It's been 12 years since Irish people woke up to a blanket of snow on Christmas morning but some long range predictions suggest we could be in for the ultimate festive snow day in 2022.
While Met Éireann is predicting a mild and largely pleasant October, one long range forecaster in the UK has predicted very cold weather there which could make it to our shores before Christmas.
Some forecasters there are predicting temperatures dipping as low as -8 degrees while bookmakers Coral are odds-on for a White Christmas across the Irish Sea amid the freezing forecast.
