If this were early June, Irish people would already be writing off the possibility of having a decent summer. Here we are in early December and we've hardly had a whiff of winter yet. A couple of sort of frosty mornings, but I haven't had my winter coat out yet. Still going with my light jacket.
At what stage do we decide that winter's just too late and we'll just do without it this year?
UPDATE Dec 4, 1pm: It seems I'm not the only one. "Meterological readings from Armagh Observatory also show that, with a mean monthly temperature of 8.6C, the temperature last month was two degrees higher than average". Last month was also the driest November in 15 years. Winter, schminter!
