Weather

[LancashireHibby]

Getting plenty of snow down here and won't know until the morning whether I'm in work or not - any concerns with the game going ahead tomorrow or is the weather ok up there?

[Scouse Hibee]

Snowing just now at North Gyle, the grass is covered but only just, not sure about Leith though.

[hibee_girl]

It's been snowing here for last 2 hours, getting pretty heavy now.

Wouldn't think the game will be in doubt unless it the snow that's lying on ground turns to ice overnight or if it's blizzard conditions tomorrow afternoon!

[down-the-slope]

Its a total Blizzard in the village (EL) for past hour - snowed lightly for 2 hours before that. A snow plough went past half an hour ago......you would never know it had passed...if this pushes west to Leith it might be touch and go

[lord bunberry]

The snow is starting to lye in leith now

[Westie1875]

3pm kick off gives them plenty time to get the surrounding area cleared and the pitch should be fine as the undersoil heating will be on. Typical that this weather happens just after we've had a 2 week break when the weather was fine.

[hibsbollah]

It'll be on. Some sleet is possible but the heavier snow will be further North.

Typical that this weather happens just after we've had a 2 week break when the weather was fine.which shows just how pointless it was, trying tae pick two weeks out of four months of possible bad weather. Only them that run Scottish fitba could come up with that, two good weeks wasted.

Reckon there'll be a fair amount snow lying about in the morning.

Don't kid yourself the break was for weather reasons. I've been out to play the last couple of weeks but the town is pretty dead. Not many folk have money to muck about with. Even now I doubt there'll be a decent crowd.

[Malthibby]

Lying heavily in Portobello but don't think it will affect tomorrow.

The Heavier snow is currently just east.....no sign of stopping. Right now I would not get out the village

I've driven in mussie,porty, and g.junction street today.hardly anyone on the streets. a bit cald before this snaw started but those places i've mentioned, usually are busy enough on Fridays around the shops.

[Sir David Gray]

It's fine here in central Scotland.

I'm looking at the posts here and the reports on the news and wondering what all the fuss is about. A few very light flurries throughout the day but absolutely nothing lying on the ground.

Really cold though!

Newhaven has 3ft of snow and we don't give sh"t :greengrin

[FranckSuzy]

Just says East Lothian under his name :wink: :dunno:

[SMAXXA]

I think the game will be off. Wouldnt mind cause I canny go anyway so could go to the rearranged game :greengrin

Story of my life living in a coastal town. My whole childhood there were your usual "most snow ever in the history of man" warnings and looking out my window in Carnoustie there was not one flake.

However over here in Dalry it's been snowing for a good few hours and doesn't look like stopping any time soon.

[JohnStephens91]

The snow is lying in Blackford, I'd doubt the match will be off unless the snow comes down heavily in the early hours.

[stoneyburn hibs]

No chance it will be off, pitch and surrounding areas will be fine the morn, im choking on the game tomorrow :greengrin

Good stuff Franksuzy however East Lothian is not a village :wink: Hence the question :agree:

And the weather report from murrayfield, fair bit of snow lying on ground, snow still coming down but not too heavy at the moment, and the usual hot air streaming from the large pink box along the road

[FranckSuzy]

Good stuff Franksuzy however East Lothian is not a village :wink: Hence the question :agree:

Ah ken :greengrin But the initials were referring to East Lothian and not his village :wink:

[JollyGreenGiant]

Just hope the Dundee team don't have problems getting down to Edinburgh

[Newhaven]

Well said that man.

[Chuck Rhoades]

It better be on, very rarely get Sat 3pms these days. **** a wed night reply.

[Jamesie]

Walked from Elm Row to my flat which is about a five minute walk from the stadium at around 10pm. Walking past the Famous Five I almost went on my ere twice - there will need to be some serious clearing done in the morning as even if the pitch is fine, the areas around the stadium are hazardous at present. About 1.5 inches of snow on my car too so there's work to be done in the morning (assuming a) there's no more snow overnight and b) Dundee can get down the road!)

[Sylar]

Just hope the Dundee team don't have problems getting down to Edinburgh

The city is clear up here and the main roads look perfectly fine going by the traffic cameras.

I drove down by Dens earlier and even the streets have very little on them.

If anything is going to call the game off, it'll be concern for supporter safety around the stadium and it's too early to gauge that just now?

[NOLA]

a wee bit of snow and the country grinds to a halt, pathetic really :agree:

[Just_Jimmy]

Roads through fife are a little ropey but certainly nothing that should stop them getting to edinburgh unless it gets bad between now and morning.

[monktonharp]

a wee bit of snow and the country grinds to a halt, pathetic really :agree:does seem that way, but there can be a lot of traffic on the main roads these days, which can turn in to a nightmare. I am driving a big van tommorow,doon tae Peebles. not far away, but can be hazardous at times. shovel and grit on board just in case.:wink:

[GreenCastle]

Surely has to be on - yes snow on the ground but the main roads are fine and the surrounding paths may have snow on them but they aren't as bad as previous years snow / ice.

With some tough away trips coming up and February looking a very busy month - hopefully it's not off.

[sbell1875]

I think the game will be off. Wouldnt mind cause I canny go anyway so could go to the rearranged game :greengrin

I'm the same and I missed Motherwell at home last month due to the worlds worst hangover!

[Sylar]

a wee bit of snow and the country grinds to a halt, pathetic really :agree:

Whereas the AFC Championship game on Sunday is likely to be played in several feet of snow surrounding the stadium and regular clearings of the seating and field :greengrin

[Diclonius]

Snow's stopped here.

[shetlandhibee]

Not too much in Aberdeen right now, there's been peerie showers here and there. But i think is meant to be getting worse. Hopefully the game goes ahead:)

[.Sean.]

Haddington is covered in snow, not been gritted either. Gonna be really treacherous in the morning as the slush is starting to freeze. Hopefully town isn't bad! Be gutted if the game is called off due to weather.

If the snow that has layed at ER freezes over through the night there could be a problem about health and safety about fans getting to the ground, i passed ER earlier on and the roads and pavements are covered in snow.

[edinburghhibee]

Yep just walked home from work and there was plenty of snow on top of the old stand at Tynie... Hope that roof can cope with all that extra weight!

It will be fine its built from strong materials asbestos I believe

next you'll be telling me the players wear pads and helmets :dizzy:

[ALF TUPPER]

All fine here this morning. All hail the Weegie weather !!
;-) *chortle*

[down-the-slope]

no more overnight in rural EL - just the 3 or 4 inches that were there before going to bed....but will take a fair time to shift

[hibsbollah]

The Heavier snow is currently just east.....no sign of stopping. Right now I would not get out the village

Please pay attention, i said the snow 'WILL BE' further north'. Im not expecting much more snow in the Edinburgh area today.



Im still intrigued as to what kind of training youve been doing that teaches you to be discrete about where you live by saying 'a village in EL', while putting 'East Lothian' as your location on your status bar :greengrin

[Albanian Hibs]

[Pretty Boy]

Snow at my house 5 mins from Leith Walk. Next to nothing falling though and plenty blue sky can be seen as well.

Quite a bit lying on the pavements from last night though.

[Hermit Crab]

Making a mountain out of a snowhole.

[Mon Dieu4]

i was just in the club shop, the snow isn't too bad around the stadium and the staff are gritting the paths

guy in the shop said there is another pitch inspection due but should be ok

[Hibs90]

Blue skies in parts of Edinburgh - think we will be on - glad as didn't want to sit around house all day or have a midweek re-arranged game!

[lapsedhibee]

I think East Linton is a fair bet

I've a hunch that DTS doesn't live in East Linton but somewhere between Saltoun and Pencaitland. #sometimespaystoreadthewholethread
