One weather expert, speaking to the Irish Daily Mirror, has indicated that there's a small chance of a White Christmas this year, but only in parts of the country.
We've been in a period of unseasonably mild weather over the past week, leading people to dismiss the notion that a winter wonderland awaits on December 25th.
However, one weather model is showing a dip in temperatures ahead of the big day, meaning we might perhaps see the odd flurry. Don't hold out too much hope though!
Speaking to the Irish Daily Mirror, Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather has indicated there is a small chance that snow could fall in the East of the country, primarily around the Dublin area.
"On the latest weather models, would you believe it, there is a chance. There are two main weather models that most people would look at and it's the European model and then the American model. The European model is mainly what Met Eireann use and it last night showed some snow charts for Christmas Day, primarily in the east. Again this morning, it's still showing it."
So, if you're dreaming of a White Christmas in Waterford, well, it's a bit of a stretch of the imagination but you'd never know!!
