    Got to be realistic Fordy, if the freezing rain hits there will be a major safety issue, I'm based in Wrose, been out for an hour this morning, its dry but bloody cold. I hope we play and get 3 points, I can walk to the game, many others can't.

    DE249029-E8F1-4FFE-97DC-6A22E25664E8.png Bit chilly here today. Not walking anywhere, will take the car. Winter tyres and a country geared up for snow is a wonderful thing!

    Better start putting my extra layers on now then. Been looking forward to this match, so hopefully it starts and finishes and we all get home safe

    To be honest, it's a different type of cold here. in England, it's a much more damp cold. In Estonia, when it gets down to -30 in February, it's more of a dry, brisk cold. Catches you out, because you put on many layers. Take a phone call without gloves, and after a minute you can't feel your fingers at all.
    But yeah, it's funny seeing the UK grind to a halt whenever a few snowflakes appear, but you guys just aren't prepared for it, so it's to be expected. There's places in Sweden and Norway that even have heated pavements! As I said, winter tyres (required here by law from Nov-March) really do make a huge difference. I was over in Bradford a few years back, and took the hire car out in the snow without thinking, and slid all over the place.

    Listening to the guys on the radio now, you would think the game was taking place in the North Pole. Wishing everyone safe afternoons and recommending hot chocolate and blankets :D

    Fashion victim. I was warm enough in the area covered by my coat. Face, toes and hands very cold though, despite the furry boots and thermal gloves.

    My biggest problem was getting from the car to my house after the game, the path was just an ice rink.

    Are you suggesting a coup, or through legal process?

    I think the time for a coup has thankfully past.Maybe a gentle influx of backroom staff who could add a few stars to our catering operation?

    Would imagine they would travel up tomorrow as they stayed over last season anyway.

    You should divert your faux anger to the Met Office where I got the information from.

    PM is short for Post Meridiem in Latin, or after noon so technically 12pm can not be noon as it is not after noon.

    LBA is the highest airport in England that might give you a clue.

    Latest! Forget snow accumulations worry about rare freezing rain phenomena

    “Amber warning, which will last from 10am on Saturday until 6am on Sunday, warns of freezing rain which will cause widespread ice.

    The Met Office said: "Freezing rain is expected to result in the rapid development of widespread ice, with very dangerous travelling conditions likely."

    It said injuries from slipping and danger to life on icy surfaces are likely, and pavements and cycle paths are likely to become "instantly impassable because of the sudden formation of black ice".

    Also

    “Freezing rain is rare in the United Kingdom but when it does occur the impacts can be very severe. This is due to the fact that it can form very quickly, it can be difficult to see and is incredibly slippery.

    "Some sleet and snow is possible over the very highest ground and the freezing rain may also be followed by a spell of sleet and snow as the precipitation clears from the west.

    "The freezing rain and sleet and snow will be accompanied by strong southeasterly winds which will pose an additional hazard to travel, in particular over high ground."

    Pair of Charles Tyrwhitt (rebadged Loake’s) Boots with Commando Soles. Probably a pair of Bradford socks (get behind the local business FFS;)) https://www.thebradfordsockcompany.co.uk/wool--nylon---amber--claret-150-p.asp plus a pint or two in front of a roaring fire, in you know where, prior to the game.:thumbup:
