That sounds like it has the potential to end up a Rod Hull moment, Jenny.  Careful, now.

[Mr1Croft]

Moorends and Thorne still very light snow, seems this end of Doncaster towards Scunthorpe is looking half decent. Im more optimistic than I was this morning but it will all depend on tonight. Really dont want it to be called off...

[ExileRover]

Friend in Epworth says light snow starting to settle now

[jonnydog]

It's forecast all night so I personally reckon this one is doubtful!

[RobTheRover]

Scunny will have the covers on early I reckon, and just read on their forum from an official source that there was no snow or frost on the pitch at 2pm, so I reckon precautions will have been taken.

Expect an appeal for fans to help clear the overnight snow in the morning.  Might pop over early to help out if required.

[The L J Monk]

I'm in Epworth. It's not settling. Looks fine so far.

[RobTheRover]

Forcast to hit heavy from about 2am I think, and stay in the area until about 1pm

Very surprising that, it's been chucking it down and settling in Sprotbrough for 2 or 3 hours now.

Can someone do the night shift to keep us with an hour by hour update ?

[The L J Monk]

Drove through Bawtry an hour ago, settling there. Got to Westwoodside, easing off, Epworth next to nothing.

So far...

Working all day at Winterton, Scunthorpe and left approx 7:00 p.m tonight . There hasn't been any snow/rain  or sign of snow/rain all day but it was bitterly cold and I mean BITTER all day with heavy winds.
Unless there are heavy falls tonight or a very deep frost then I can see no reason to call this game off.

I can assure you it is not settling in Epworth, barely snowing TBH... I'd post a picture but it's too dark

Maybe the game could be called off due to treacherous travel conditions, really hope this games on bool looking quite unlikely now 

[Mr1Croft]

I dont think that is a valid reason tbh Dave, if the pitch, the stadium and the paths/roads and closest possible access routes are fine it will go ahead.

My fear is the snow comes later than planned and the game is aboneded as Rovers lead 3-0...

If the pitch is covered properly then subject to tonights conditions there is little reason to postpone this game. I live in Thorne have travelled this route tonight and yes it's very windy but 'unlikely' definitely NOT at this stage. Your comments puzzle me and your reasoning........is Donny-Scunthorpe deep with snow that I didn't spot ?

[RedmanRufus]

@TheIronFanPage: Weather Update- Snow is forecast late afternoon throughout most of the night. Saturday day forecasts no heavy snow! (BBC Weather) #IRON

You reds

Hope you're right, but can't councils get involved?

I can safely say though, that I have never been more interested in the weather in my life! We're like old grannies...

It's settling here in Cantley, and I was assuming most of Donny was the same. There's still 16 hours to go yet.

[RobTheRover]

Have the buses stopped running early tonight?  There has been a bloke sat in the bus stop opposite my house for the past 40 minutes.  He's just got up and gone home.

[DaveOfDonny]

You can check your route here http://www.travelsouthyorkshire.com/

Doesn't take much to cancel a route in this country...

[RobTheRover]

Within seconds of my last post 2 buses turned up.  No good for the poor bugger who sat there freezing his nads off until he could take it no longer.

Just been out in the car on a scouting mission.  The main roads are OK.  The estate roads are treacherous.  Great for handbrake turns, though.

[Bentley Bullet]

Isn't Glanford Park based on a biscuit tin design?  If so why don't they just put the lid on it?

[RobTheRover]

Its full of hob nobs.

[Keith Myath]

i live a couple of miles away in bottesford, its settling on the roofs, floors too wet cant see it settling on the floor, unless it gets much heavier.

[Fal]

Settling here in Armthorpe, just got home from work and the roads are pretty treacherous!

[Muttley]

I've had to knock the snow off the sky dish twice tonight...

Is that a euphemism?

[Katesby]

Can't see this one being on chaps

[mushRTID]

Just got home from town, in armthorpe... This ain't happening I'm afraid unless scunny is much different.

No, this is a euphamism

[silent majority]

Just got back from San Marino, plenty of snow on the ground in Belton and the roads are treacherous! Hard to say what the pitch is like, but there's definitely a good fall of snow east of Doncaster.
