Whats the weather doing over t'other side of Coldweather .... Snowing like hell here not sure if will be setting off if it continues

[taio]

It's snowing

[Volvoclaret]

Snowing like mad ont moors above Burnley.

[Colburn_Claret]

I shied off last minute.
It was alright 30muns ago, but the forecast is snow in Burnley during the match, which means the hills will be worse.
As it happens we've got heavy snow here now, so I would have possibly been coming back into it.
One written off car for the cause is enough. Give the lads a cheer for me.

[Lancasterclaret]

Its even snowing where we are, and its very rare we get snow

[claretandy]

Honking it down in Ightenhill.

[Dark Cloud]

Snowing hard in the town centre right now, but forecast to stop before kick off I believe.

[Cirrus_Minor]

Coming down really fast in Nelson

[Elizabeth]

BBC weather forecast , sleet showers will continue up to 4pm then replaced with heavy snow showers into the evening

[beddie]

Bosscat, it’s settling a bit here too, just outside Skipton, normally we’d go but we’ve decided not to bother, a bit annoyed really as we don’t like missing games but I’m getting too old to starting pushing and digging.

[Local cricketer]

Just seen a gritter going down towards crow wood. Must be to dig the spurs coach out

[Bosscat]

Have had a chat with my 2 mates that we were taking this afternoon ... and we have decided to retire to the local pub instead and watch it on a laptop on hesgoal or similar ...

Come on Burnley.

[Roosterbooster]

I wonder if the weather affects Sean's team selection??

We had a scare driving home from a match quite a few years ago on the Gisburn Road near Nappa ... a 4 wheel drive was coming towards us almost sideways ... how the hell it missed us I still don't know ... I vowed never again to risk snow ...

[BuryClaret]

Coming down in Bury now, albeit not heavily. Trying to decide whether to risk it over the top into Burnley.

[Aclaret]

Is it too late to alter my guess the gate ?

[Sozturf7]

Been coming down heavy up Syke, but it's easing off now.

[Beano]

My son is on the train and it’s stuck in the station at Hebden Bridge, already 25 mins late!!!

Undersoil heating earning its keep today

[fidelcastro]

Don't we use the covers anymore?

[Stu]

Any chance it will be called off just about to leave home

[Jakubclaret]

Snowing in Bispham not sticking though more sleet.

[Bigvince]

Why are the sprinklers on?

[Beano]

Update: train cancelled everybody has got off at Hebden Bridge.
Anyone now what the roads are like, I am thinking of driving over to collect him???

[fatboy47]

Some proper marred buggers on here.

Seen more snow in a window box.

Wear gloves if you must

[thelaughingclaret]

Doubt they will call it off this late. Too much money involved in the prem.

[Jimmymaccer]

Got to get back to Liverpool airport after the match! Anyone Chorley M6 Liverpool direction, what’s it like over there?

Gloves ????
Wonder how many of our lads will be wearing them as opposed to Spurs.

[ALP]

Why are the sprinklers on?

Warm water to get the snow melted

[4:20]

Lovely and toasty in the house, getting ready to watch a game with my family for the first time in over a year, looking forward to it.

[RalphCoatesComb]

Been outside yet? Be careful. The snow is falling onto ice in some places. Some footpaths will be very treacherous

Thats our issue by the Waggoners. Often the first road to cĺose.

[IanMcL]

Sat charging at Charnock Richard, before the final lurch to Turf Moor.

Snowing here but lightish. Not settling.

Radio saying Turf Moor pitch White and heavy snow. Referee peering at pitch.

[IanMcL]

Still going ahead and Sean in short sleeves is radio update.

Lines marked on pitch.

Snow on pitch seems to have really settled in the past hour, lines have been cleared though and they have started clearing the pitch in the corner between CFS and James Hargreaves. Twitter comment from Andy Jones:

Sean Dyche (somehow just in a shirt and tie) is out chatting to the referee.

Meanwhile COO Matt Williams (bottom left) is helping with the efforts of removing snow from the pitch.

[claretburns]

Pitch just a minute ago.

[thelaughingclaret]

Looks all systems go then if they are clearing the pitch.

[DCWat]

Surely, the under soil heating should have been on, and wouldn’t this have prevented much of the snow settling?

[Andreshotboots]

At least Son won't be able to run the full length of the pitch to score today, the ball will be about 3 feet in diameter by the time he gets to our goal.

[longsidetrumpet]

That’s the opening scene on MOTD2 sorted then, snowy Burnley Wood rooftops and Healey Heights murk

[Andreshotboots]

Surely, the under soil heating should have been on, and wouldn’t this have prevented much of the snow settling?

The under soil heating has been on. It prevents freezing well under the surface and the warmth rises slowly up to the surface.

It certainly can't stop heavy snow settling, the same way snow settles on warm car bonnets, house roofing etc

[Mala591]

Game will be ok and go ahead if they can find that old orange casey in the Chairman’s antique cabinet
