Are we heading for a white Christmas in Ireland? The forecast at the moment is beginning to look a little bit like that with temperatures dropping below zero and heavy snow predicted in Britain. Snow is not the norm here and even when we get it it usually does not last long. Now with the weather patterns changing so much anything could happen. Irish people are not really used to driving in those conditions and this makes it even more dangerous to be on the road travelling. Where i live on the west coast of the country we are less likely to get snow than in the midlands, the north or the east. Even when we get it it rarely stays as the gulf stream on this side of the country keeps the land temperature up. I am sure that the children would welcome snow as we did ourselves when we were young. Snowball fights and the making of a snowman were things that you got a lot of enjoyment out of and it would be no different for the kids today. The countryside does look so different and there is a beauty to it all that is refreshing. For me of course it means that my job is not as easy but then again i do not be on the road as much at this time of the year. It may not happen anyway but i have a feeling that it just might.
This weekend here will be really hectic as everybody will be trying to do as much last minute shopping as they can. The shops themselves are keeping their fingers crossed as this is their last chance to try to make up some of the lost ground for a year that has hit their trade. There are signs that we are slowly emerging from our recession and that would be a nice thing to see happening before we move into the New Year. Lets hope that we all have learned a very valuable lesson.
