Been a really good one since around 27th, think there's only been a handful of mild days and plenty of snow (lost count of days but well into double figures) . Doubt thus event today will even be the deepest (we had 4-5 inches total from the really long event here the other week.)
Will be interesting if the magic of snow gets lost among the next generation of kids now it will no longer mean a few days off with Zoom etc. Half the fun of 2010 was the extension of the school holidays by a good week personally.
They've kept the pitch in miraculous condition.
Especially when you remember Blackburn - of the Championship for crying out loud - cancelled a game due to a waterlogged pitch the other night.
Isn't the set up this weekend a bit similar to the one the other year (2018 or 2019 I think) that sunk South at the last minute and gave the Midlands nearly a foot of snow?
Not getting hopes up til anything falls from sky.
It was always going to be one of these relegation skirting teams that broke the run rather than your big 4s though, let's be honest. Why Pope hasn't replaced Pickfail in a three lions shirt yet, goodness knows.
Isn't their a way of actually controlling the weather? Just hire some scientists to lock the entire north west in a permanent snowstorm of 10-20cm an hour falls. .
It's normally the other way round! - the pennines destroy snow, ask anyone west of them. Generally goes across easier to you guys though from westerlies than it does to us from easterlies. Might be the more Southerly element of this making it more difficult for precip to get through
Just noticed the streamer over the Cheshire gap, presumably once the main precip fully clears off to the east/north we could get one slightly north (closer to IoM) to give some more snowfall overnight/during tomorrow?
Is it falling as snow in Cheshire etc?
