Post by: Timperley The Best on December 26, 2014, 09:11:11 PM
Has to be a doubt if his snow continues

If it freezes as predicted, that will be the problem.

I see no-one has done it yet so i will but the snow has largely melted in my parents garden in Timperley which obviously means it will be a DISGRACE if the Nunny game is off tomorrow.

Unusual for snow to come in from the west. Maybe the end of the world is nigh. Maybe it's the North Koreans. Forecast for tomorrow is below zero all  night and the only hours it rises as high as zero is while the game is on.

No snow in Altrincham now and currently 2 degree - indeed it will be a farce if the game is off tomorrow

Cheers for the local weather updates - won't bother bringing my sledge to Alty later tonight.

Game on as far as I can tell.

What if the weather doesn't go above freezing before kick off as predicted here?

thats pretty mild for the time of year......even by our own lame standards of getting games on - would be a farce if its off

The fog should be the only threat

The snow didn't come from the west, the depression did, which was originally rain and after then hitting the cold air dragged in from the north turned to snow.

Would be very odd if the game gets called off. The ground temperature hasn't been that bad and should still be quite soft. I suspect it'll be bitterly cold though.

Didn't think we had lame standards at getting games on but I hope you're right. 

Never a better time to play Nuneaton and we are going well plus the club will need the Saturday gate/bar money against the Tuesday income so will be desperate to get it on. 

Will be a few other non league fans looking for a game as a lot will be off tomorrow and Utd away at lunchtime should boost it a bit.

From the top of the hills in Saddleworth this morning, is wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, and by the time we returned to other end of Oldham at half 1 all the snow had cleared. Unless we get some black ice around tonight I would be surprised if it was off.

generally very reliable and accurate.  Shows temps above freezing for a few hours before the game.

I happened to pop down to the ground this lunchtime, so when I was there, I had a quick look at the pitch.

The pitch looked absolutely perfect, soft with no snow or ice on it, and as far as I could see no standing water at all.

Therefore,  short of any dreadful weather, I would be amazed if we don't have a game tomorrow afternoon.

Disappointed theres been no back garden inspections in the greater Altrincham area in the last 4 hours.

Thats begging Hamilton to make a daft comment. im talking about weather related matters not some poor lass being taken from behind by Jenga in a pub car park!

Although sadly not able to offer the much anticipated "back garden" perspective I can, as a very poor alternative, offer a frozen car windscreen if that's any use??

I don't know how relevant is the weather in Bury but in my back garden I can see yellow snow and the odd frozen turd, courtesy of my new puppy.  ;D
