It's a bank holiday anyway! Hardly be too much disruption even if there's a bit of snow about.

could be different if it snows heavily in the hours leading up to the match which looks possible

I'd say it'll be that wet sloppy stuff, you'd hear it splatting at the window....

Max temperatures on Saturday 1 to 7c (falling through the afternoon). Sunday, 1 to 3c.

Frost and ice will be widespread Saturday and Sunday nights with lows of -1 to -5c both nights. Locally lower where snow has settled.

It looks like we could see a northerly later on if the GFS is correct.
What a year this has been so far weather wise. Hopefully, given we are entering solar minimum territory, next winter will be epic in terms of snow and depth of cold.

I'm thinking a beast from the east in January, and all the glory that would entail- record breaking low temperatures, snow on the ground for days without thawing. The bar has been raised ladies and gents!

At the very least I think 2018 is already a memorable year and one for the history books this early on!
