Looks like it may be a tad milder for the Christmas period, I think the term "mild" is springing up to much at the moment though. It'll be around 4-5 degrees daytime here for the most part so not exactly mild. mild is what we had last year in the double digits.
Currently it looks like we might have a colder new years period, so hopefully new year, new snow instead of new me. I've failed that resolution every time so fingers crossed the weather delivers.
Anything can and will happen though so may the farce be with you.
