It appears the chances of a White Christmas in Ireland have been swallowed up by an unusually mild weather system making its way here for the festive period.
It's good news for those travelling home for Christmas with clear roads and a very low chance of disruption to scheduled bus, train and plane journeys.
The weather update comes hot on the heels of a severe cold snap earlier this month which brought flights to a standstill and saw some parts of Ireland freeze in -8C temperatures.
