A postman renowned for predicting the weather using ancient methods has insisted Ireland is heading for a white Christmas.

Michael Gallagher, who learned his age-old technique from the last generations living high in Donegal's Blue Stack mountains, uses nature and the behaviour of animals to make his forecast.

The 61-year-old, who lives in the remote Glenfin Valley, said all the signs pointed to snow on its way. "We are definitely on our way to a white Christmas," he said.

Bookies only recognise it as a white Christmas if snow falls on the roof of the Weather Centre in London.
There could be six feet of snow oop North, but they won't pay out on a bet on a white Christmas if it doesn't snow in London.

I wonder, does it snow in this remote part every year?

Fortunately the bookies realise that there are other places and have regional points of reference other than London.
