Ahem ... given the track record of Philsky I reckon we should tell him the truth

Snow over 10" deep and tipped to fall throughout the day.

At its best in that area and anywhere further South already a white out with impassable roads. Train Lines blocked with Power Cables down and Donny Airport unprecedented closure for snow

How early do you want us to put you off ?

Blizzard now in Bradford, flakes as big as half crowns.

[CGJ]

It's raining now and the little bit of slush left will be soon gone.

[DaveDRFC]

I live a mile from the Keepmoat and there is no snow settling at all. There's a bit coming down now but it is very wet and so is the ground.

Game on!

[anne honemous]

It's raining at Lakeside. Snow mixed in, but not settling and not got a chance of settling.

It'll be fine.

[eastender]

Heavy Snow forecast for next 3 hrs in DN4, but can't see it doing any damage.

Rovers seem confident, although that's not always good news!

Races have been cancelled but think Rovers will go ahead

MATCHDAY | There was a light dusting of snow overnight at the Keepmoat Stadium, but this is being cleared by rain as the morning progresses. Temperatures are rising and forecast to reach 6c by the time of kick-off, perfect for Friday night football under the lights. #DRFC

Yup just damp here now there was snow earlier but didn't last long.  Can't see any problems.

Can't imagine snow at the Keepmoat will be a problem. However, Rochdale have to get to Donny first. I live on the Western edge of Sheffield and snow is coming down as fast as I've ever seen. Hoping the forecast rain arrives soon!

If they don't turn up we should be awarded the points, you know, just like the sunday league.

They've got all day to get here mostly via M62/A1..

Blizzarding at the moment in S12 too....white over!

[anne honemous]

It's snowing more than raining here now, but still only a light dusting and I'm a 10 minute walk from the Keepmoat.

Again, considering the rain, waterlogging is going to be more of a problem.

This snow would need to keep going for several hours and be more intense for it to cause issues.

If Rochdale do make it through the snow  , let's hope Lightening doesn't strike twice. 

[philsky]

Thanks for updates

We'll leave it as late a poss

Has a game at the Keepmoat ever been called off for a waterlogged pitch? It always seems to be due to a frozen pitch or treacherous surrounding area so as it stands I think we should be okay.

Wasn't there a game two or three years ago, maybe against MKDons, when it was called off due to waterlogging ?
I remember getting to the ground to find it cancelled, it hadn't been freezing or snowing so we had no real reason to think it may be off.

[anne honemous]

11.30 weather update from Anne Honemous....

The snow has ceased and it's now light rain again. The snow hasn't settled at all and it isn't even slushy outdoors or anything.

It'll be on.

I do remember that game being off but can't remember why. Might try a quick Google.

[RoversAlias]

Looks like your memory is spot on Hound, game was called off gone midday due to waterlogging. That's the only instance I can recall though and that day half the EFL fixtures went due to the same reason so the country must have had a deluge.

I actually confirmed it by reading an old Rovers 606 thread manned by our dearly departed forum member Derek, aka "newyankee". He was also expressing dismay that "Fuzzyduck" had left the site, whatever happened to him? I'm sure he had an account on here too.

[drfchound]

Glad i was right, the brain is still working.

Derek and i had a few differences of opinion but i think respect also went between us.
Bless him.
