Weather Watch

My weekend would be massively enhanced if this was postponed.

With amber warnings of heavy snow in the north west from 6am onwards Sunday here - they must be fairly confident it will happen although they've been wrong plenty of times before

With health and safety usually taken to extremes these days, the Manchester derby is the one probably more in doubt (but just possibly our one too)

Although I noticed some light snow while at work (in Chester) today - Manchester has its own microclimate and is a powerful magnet for bad weather, usually it rains at best.

We haven't had snow for a few years for much of Merseyside despite weather warnings every year, East Lancs nearer the Pennines, Manchester and the moors surrounding it normally get it all

I wouldn't mind it being off as Sam has only been here two minutes not two months. However Anfield hasn't had a snowed off fixture since 2010 so it must be highly unlikely despite these amber warnings. I read they're really meant to be more specific to the greater Manchester area but cover a wider area just for the weather forcasters to cover themselves and claim they're right even if off target slightly.

Manchester has its own microclimate?

How do you work that out Fred.

Tbf it'd be great if this was postponed. We're missing loads of key players and even if it was just pushed back until January that'd give us Bolasie and Coleman back fit.

Forgot about that, could put that film, Escape to Victory on

Ah yes. We remember the good old days when City players struggled in Europe and scraping a result in Paris was cause for massive celebrations.

Hate it when it snows, can't see the dog dirt around the ground,

Especially the white uns

If that weather forecast is true then there's no chance this game goes ahead. Pitch will be fine but the surrounding areas will be chaos.

I am very comfortable with this outcome.

imagine genuinely thinking its gunna be snowing heavy...
yesterday was the best we'll get

 

[TheFinnFan]

Real possibility that it would be postponed?

 

[NCLBlue]

Can’t stand their arrogance and how they put themselves in the same bracket as City...

Us rolling over in this fixture has enabled this. Play the game, actually play it and put them under pressure.

Our Icelandic prince will be more than used to the snow and cold weather...

Just imagine,for once the stars align,we are battering them 5-0,retribution for us poor souls who suffered 1982,five minutes to go,the storm clouds have gathered and an almighty blizzard arrives,the reg has no option but to abandon the game,we then lose the rearranged game to a disputed penalty..... Everton that
lol

I was in the UK this time last year and would have loved it to snow Not this heavy, sounds pretty bad atm.

I know safety is important but this "it's not the pich, it's the surrounding areas" thing seems like something that has only crept in over recent years.
It used to be if the pich is fine then that's all that matters.

Unfortunately, I think this is down to the modern day world were people put claims in left, right and centre if they suffer a minor slip and nothing is wrong with them.

..today’s racing at Aintree has just passed an inspection, that’s the most important thing.

It wasn't meant to be taken entirely seriously baldy but it does actually statistically get appreciably more rainfall considering its geographically so close to us.

It hasnt really snowed at all yet - nothing only sleet.

Can't see them being 'that' wrong. If it is heavy snow for that exact time it'll be chaos on the roads regardless of what measures they've put in place.
