Friday looks mostly dry and Saturday looks to be dry all day, met office site

I'm assuming the met office site is more reliable than BBC then as it says heavy snow Friday.

Maybe just worrying to much with the news about storms at the weekend.

The forecast for Friday's to be horrendous with snow so there's every chance it could be off particularly with Ross County being our opponents and travelling down from Dingwall.

It's more the weather on Friday that I was referring to - the BBC are forecasting heavy snow for much of the country.

I think Saturday should be ok but if there's loads of lying snow then the game might be in doubt.

Would be our luck as well. Off the back of a good performance and cup win the team and fans are back in good spirits. Game off.

I got an email for sats game from Hibs saying joma are offsetting tickets to £5 for everyone, anyone seen that?

When I go onto the ticket site ticket prices are normal, no promo code on the email

All sold out. Think they were just for one section in FF upper

Pretty sure I saw it announced that all the offset tickets had been sold already.

[G15 Hibs]

This was probably discussed a few weeks ago before the Livingston game, but when was the last time a game was called off at Easter Road because of the weather? It's probably really obvious, but I'm struggling to remember.

[Hibee Mac]

I wouldn't worry about it, can't remember the last time a game was called off at eater road for weather. Chances are it will go ahead as normal.

Some folks were worried about the Livi game but when it came to it the weather was fine.

Actually, that's a good question.

When was the last time a game at ER was off because of the weather?

:dunno:

[SHODAN]

Unless the Met upgrade the forecast to a snow warning I can't see the game being in doubt.

I remember a new years Derby, late 80s. Next game was Falkirk away when Mitchell, Bell and McEntire made their debuts. Think there was an Aberdeen game around the same time. Partick cancelled due to floodlight failure I recall as well.Cant really think of many others. 🎶Rain or snow or thunderstorm I go Hibee Hibernian 🎶

Mind getting beat by Killie at ER in an absolute blizzard in around 97. Possibly a Scottish Cup game. Paul Wright scored for them, as he always did against us.

Wasn’t there a friendly under Stubbs, v. Barnsley or someone got called off due to torrential rain. Game was played behind closed doors at EM?

Put in Leith instead and see what it shows😀

I think it was in July

[G15 Hibs]

I think it was in July

There were a couple of Intertoto Cup games played in early July in Biblical deluges. Neither would probably have gone ahead if they'd been domestic games.

Just the same unfortunately. 😭

[nonshinyfinish]

There was this one against Gretna in 2008: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/7208161.stm

The article just says 'waterlogged pitch', but I think it was waterlogged because of heavy snowfall.

Thats the one I was trying to remember, I knew it was around the short lived year or two my daughter had an interest in coming to the games.
If i remember rightly it had been snowing and quite a late call off as we were already out in Edinburgh.

[JimBHibees]

Don't see any snow at all for a Saturday on that

That rings a bell. Thankfully I'd already made it to the Windsor.

Not that long ago. Back in 2018 when we had the bad snow across the country our game against Hamilton was postponed. It was a night game and it was unsafe for people to travel iirc.

That was the Beast from the East, wasn't it?

[Tambo]

Thanks for the opinions guys.

If the worst happens then I've always got a white pudding supper to look forward to.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Yeah or to give it it’s proper name, Anticyclone Hartmut!

[Tambo]

Look much better now with sleet and heavy Rain Friday. The winds in the south east of england tomorrow are really bad so have came up to Newcastle tonight and setting off for the big city tomorrow.

Yellow warning of snow in force tomorrow from 3am until 6pm although the detailed forecast does look quite hopeful.

[Jamesie]

Weather in Hawkhill dull and overcast with no real breeze. The game will undoubtedly be played if matters stay as they are. Much will turn on this next incoming storm and any travel issues it creates, particularly for Ross County I would imagine.

Flurries of snow through my way all morning and must have been fairly heavy through the night as it is lying albeit not very much of it.

I do live quite high up as well so I suspect if it's not too bad up my way then it will probably not be too bad elsewhere.

Provided it doesn't deteriorate over the next 24 hours then I think the game will be on.

Im in the old town in grangemouth and we have had nothing apart from a bit sleet, i blame the bp😁

Yeah you know if Grangemouth is bad with snow then the rest of the region is in big trouble.

[Hermit Crab]

Weather a bit crap in Dunfermline the now, heavy sleet and windy.

[04Sauzee]

Dunfermline game off tonight due to waterlogged park HC

[Mon Dieu4]

It's fine in Leith so far, not any different to the weather in the build up to the last couple of home games

[green with envy]

Tomorrow at KO time is as perfect weather as you could hope for at this time of year. Cold and sunny with hardly any wind to talk of.

[lord bunberry]

It’s really windy just now but the forecast for tomorrow is fine, I’d be shocked if the game was called off.

[SHODAN]

West of the city isn't much better. No snow though.

My Dad's in Kinross-shire and I doubt he'll get out his village tomorrow.

Yes that makes sense as it pretty much battered down here most of yesterday and its been heavy sleet today as well.

[Jones28]

It's come to bugger all here in the Shire, I got all excited and did a panic shop yesterday. Feel weirdly flat that we haven't had the mountains of snow we were promised.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Leith suffering typical February weather...you'd think the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were riding into town rather than a wee bit cold wind😉

[blackpoolhibs]

Blowing a gale here, folk getting blown over, i went out to pick something up from argos, and i couldnt get the car door open because of the strong wind.

Sitting in front of the fire until this blows over. :greengrin

Even if we do get some snow as forecast, it wont lie . Will be more like one of our most famous days in 2007. So much skill on show and passion from the stands.

[Tambo]

It was more of the forecast for today a few days ago I was worried about. Made it to Edinburgh earlier and about to tuck into a white pudding supper.

Can't wait for tomorrow.

[G15 Hibs]

I love a Friday weather-watch thread and the intensely localised reports. Beautiful.

For the record: mostly just grey in NW Glasgow. As usual.

Nw Glasgow ooh that's gonna be different to the rest of the city. It's such a big place BTW big man etc etc etc.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Today has been an absolute non event in Edinburgh weather wise.

No snow, bit of rain, very little in the way of wind.

Eh, ok

[seanshow]

yet again englandshire is getting a bit of wind therefore the whole uk is shut down,... absolute michael fish
