Admittedly its going to be +5 on the day but a bit touch and go if its on I'd say.

-9 overnight should kill this one off.

We're having a nice little winter break... How continental.

Surely it'd better to leave the snow on untill the last minute? If it's going to be minus whatever it is tomorrow, the snow'd help insulate the pitch would it not

Yea i guess that makes sense seeing as they are leaving the snow on the county ground until monday morning for Tuesdays game...

leaving the snow until the last minute would make a pitch inspection impossible,and it would take ages to clear.
