Wow what a thaw. 9 inches of snow at 10 pm last night, nothing this morning. That has to be the quickest thaw of deep snow I have ever seen.

More snow and another cold snap is being forecast for next week up north.

Why on earth did they call the game off so early? As i said yesterday morning, any number of us on here could have told them to wait until this morning. Really really idiotic.

I am sure they took the amount of water and the drainage rate of the pitch into consideration and maybe any frost already that was in the pitch.
Having said that to save egg on their face i would have had a 9.00am pitch inspection.
Perhaps our strongest team were not able to play sickness etc. The weather in Non league footie has always been a good excuse when only a weakened team could only be played.

Maybe, but i do feel sorry for the club in these situations, they are damned of they do and damned if they don't. I see it as an extra rest and gives Gus a chance to put some of his new ideas into place

You really are an angry man over this Papa! Cant we leave such comments to the other thread you are contributing to on the match being off subject, and leave this great thread to be just about snow.
Your aura/guru like status is crumbling before my eyes!
Back to the weather....Metcheck is predicting 9.1 mm of heavy snow between 9 and 12 tomorrow morning in Brighton:
1. That is a blizzard.
2. Metcheck is often not very reliable.
Any thoughts Papa?

Snow still covers the whole of the Heath. Only about an inch or two at most, and is wet mushy snow.

Thawing snow is a depressing sight

Withdean is virtually snow free. From 6 inches last night to almost zero. However, ice remains on the pavements and some of the roads are rather slippery.

Sorry, i didn't mean to come over as angry, and i do symapthise with the club on this.
Back to the weather, i've not looked at the latest model output yet, but on the bbc news this morning they were reporting that this cold weather is due to last until the new year!

Totally agree. The only conclusion therefore is that the club or more specifically Gus didn't want to play it. I can understand that with injuries and the chance that by the time the fixture is played we will have strengthened the squad with a transfer or two.
Shocking by the ref though that has allowed us to get away with it.

We're not the only ones though. The only League One fixture that is going ahead is Swindon v Sheff Wed

The latest MetO Update. They seem very confident that some really wintry weather sweeps in the week after next:.

Sounds good. What are the chances of a white Christmas, or is that too long range to be anything more scientific than an educated guess?

Can't say this far out, but the setup is looking favourable certainly.

After a positive weather forecast of thawing conditions I went to a funeral today up country lanes around Wenlock Edge - getting there the conditions were awful and had to walk the last mile because my front wheel drive couldn't get enough bite through the hills. On the way back it was like visiting another country with almost no snow or ice! Just shows how tricky it is to judge and with Colchester leaving yesterday afternoon and wanting an early decision it was inevitable the game would be off. Tough to complain after the event IMO.................... More snow forecast for the midlands so not much let-up over the next week

Would anyone really have fancied sitting out at Withers on such a gloomy. wet day?

No! Although I was seething when I woke up to a mass overnight thaw. I soon thanked the club for a first class decision when it was raining cats & dogs at 3pm!!

Although many of us did say this at the time of the decision!
