    With our weekend game in doubt due to the weather, what are the chances of a game being on where you are?

    Low down in Cheshire we've got no snow. Ground is frozen but under soil heating would see to that.

    I'm on a train into Liverpool. Running 5 mins late and apart from a door frozen shut, all good.

    Expecting a supplier from London in the office for noon but not fancying their chances.

    North of Manchester have a lot of snow with the M62 near Rochdale closed.

    Talked to my mam last night. She said it had been snowing all day in the Rhondda. Fortunately she's got plenty of supplies in. How is it with you DJ ?

    I suppose Taff the Fish is ok in Asia. No snow where he is.

    What about the rest of you?

    Have to be in Bridgend in next 45 minutes to have my car serviced.

    Very little has traffic has gone up or down my road in Barry and I have no idea what the Five Mile Lane or the A48 are like, so I think I will ring them and rearrange. That assumes the garage staff can get to work anyway.

    More importantly, I am going to Brentford tomorrow. Will the game be on......................?

    Bad night, decent morning on the Porthcawl Riviera. Sun is actually out but plenty of drifted snow about. Lost a dog in a snowdrift in my back garden this morning. Got him out though and he thought it was all bloody marvellous - never seen snow before.....<laugh> Sending the wife out later to see if I can lose her.........<whistle>

    As far as the Brentford game is concerned, I saw this posted on ther site last evening - they don't have undersoil heating.........

    Thought you'd have missed the snow in the balmy climes on the Riviera sparkey.

    Our border terrier stands in the back garden staring at the sky and barking when it snows. She does it every time.
    The two collies spend all day out doors. They come back with snow balls stuck to their bellies and legs. Then leave wet patches in the kitchen as they melt.

    I saw the bit about frost covers. Assume that is why they haven' t cleared the snow yet. It'll keep the frost out.

    Hope Choo has paid the leccy bill ahead of our next home game. Don't want a repeat of the riddlers days when we had under soil heating but it wasn't switched on.

    Wurzel land is the thick grip of the snow - enjoyable watching the cars struggling to get round last night! Just beginning to start again now. Unfortunately, I live 5 mins away from where I work so have not excuses <wah>

    I lived there for 10 years blue sheep and only remember snow once or twice and then not much.
    Plenty of fog though.
    And the odd case of freezing rain which isn't nice!

    Yeh probably one of the nicer parts of England to stay in. Where abouts did you live? I haven’t see snow this thick for the best part of a decade!

    At present Porthcawl Parkrun is one of the few in the country not to be called off tomorrow. Sparks, I don't think you live near the sea front and may not have ventured that far, but either way do you have any idea what the pavement conditions are like from just in front if the Pavilion out to Rest Bay? And back of course.

    I know it will be windy as hell and freeze my cobblers off but as long as there is no snow or ice we should go ahead.

    Looking forward to a bracing 5k run followed by coffee and bacon buttie at Cosy Corner. You will be very welcome to join us of course. <whistle>
