The present climate

Sir, – I heeded the weather warnings. I bought de-icer, stocked up the freezer and waited for the impending heavy snowfall to happen. It didn’t. I should have known that, in the present climate, it was a case of “flake news”. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Many thanks for the delightful photograph by Arthur Ellis on your front page of a mother and small child going for a walk in the snow in Feakle, Co Clare, yesterday (January 13th). A heartwarming picture for the bitterly cold day that was in it! – Yours, etc,
