No wonder it's big news that this year could be a white Christmas.
I'm already feeling a cold shiver down my spine. Why? Because Alan Winter found another superb winner at 33/1. I'd have cried, but my tears would have frozen with the withered point of Al waving with bemusement.
I chalked up the odds. He's a shorter price than any horse running this Saturday. The computer wizard has been priced 1/25 to win this month. He holds top position with 70.8pts. Jodonovan sits in second with 18pts, Eric Winner third with 11pts and Bird perched in fourth with 10pts. The rest of the field are praying for a minor miracle and 100/1 bar.
Can anyone beat Mr Winter? Do you believe in Father Xmas?
