Today's Manchester Weather

[Titanic]

The piccies posted earlier in this thread are all being replaced by the latest scene from Old Trafford. So we are losing a valuable record of watching grass dry.

13:10 The covers are on, there are no puddles on the outfield, the sky is grey, but no rain appears to be falling.

13:20 The covers are on, there are no puddles on the outfield, the sky is grey, with one rather brighter patch behind the larger buildings at wide third man, and it's not raining.

I'm happy to report that down here in Cheshire, about 30 miles from Old Trafford, we had a break in rain about an hour ago, it's now raining VERY hard again and thundering so hopefully it will soon reach OT

 

[Papa Lazarou]

The rain is just about there now..

13:30 If anything the sky has darkened somewhat... otherwise no change.

I've been following the webcam all morning with interest. Oh frankly, frankly, frankly, frankly, frankly, frankly Lancashire don't deserve to win the title. This is their biggest game of the season and look at the empty stands! Astonishing.

To increase my joy, I've been watching the joyous webcam pictures from Old Trafford from my own palace of glittering delights in Hove which is 90 second walk from the County Ground, Hove. They could have played cricket here all morning.

The rain is skirting the SW of Manchester - which part of the city is the cricket ground situated in?

 

[Wozza]

Shit ground, no fans.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

The Webcam shows the tower blocks in the distance becoming more hazy - it's raining very close to OT, if not there as well.

 

[Titanic]

13:40 The weather is definitely closing in again... very dark skies and no signs of action on the outfield.

 

[Bozza]

Perhaps a little Mushy pic in the large white void under the NSC banner now?...



OK, I'll shut up now.

Noted...

There appears to be some puddles on the outfield.

Bugger - really wanted to see some cricket...

Where is Des....

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Those puddles have appeared very quickly... perhaps it's due to the very heavy rain now over the ground
