It is 3 or 4 inches deep and most of the buses are cancelled for now. Start the rain dances!
Can't do photos on here, but one of the boys sent a photo to me this morning, of the SNOW outside his hotel in Sheffield.
Looked ominous and it's still snowing by all accounts.
Sheffield have called off their academy meeting as well as not opening anything around Bramall Lane.
April Fools Day was yesterday!

Forecast shows hail, then sleet, then rain with temps rising to 7 degrees by 5 PM

WINTER BREAK, my arse
Don't worry the EFL will be watching this one closely they won't want Warnock on their back again.
Traffic England webcams show main approach roads to Sheffield as being clear except one coming in from the west which is closed due to snow. Temperatures are warming up. Raining here in the Midlands and that's moving north.
Oh for **** sake not again!
Derby were there for the taking the other day which I was seething about but I know Sheffield will be a lot more difficult, but I just don’t want the fixture congestion.
Plus I got bugger else to do tonight
If Sheffied get this game on, it shows Derby Cunty in a worse light.
There is no date left to play this game.
The EFL have already stated it's unfair for us to play an away game on the 17th, so the club could argue that point.
Faaccckkkin 'ell, just opened the front door of the B&B here in Sheffield.

May 1st?��
Looking at a few Blade posts they seem optimistic it will clear up.
My mate in Chesterfield is not bothering to go, says he will struggle to get to the train station. !!
The melt has started.
Hopefully common sense rules.
If the match was 3.00 or even 5.00 I would be seriously worried, but the 7.45 kick off should be enough to ensure this goes ahead.
I love the Preston police tweet, taking the piss out of Derby!

Agree, I would imagine Sheffield Utd will also be more keen to get the game played than Derby were the other week in footballing terms so will be making an effort to get the match played whereas Derby did everything they could to avoid the match going aheadIf Sheffied get this game on, it shows Derby Cunty in a worse light.
The standing snow is still 4 inches deep in south west Sheffield and a lot of cars still struggling on hills but temperatures are rising and the melt is underway. The city centre and area around Bramall Lane is always better than the higher ground by us.
No buses yet (though snow starting to turn to slush where cars have passed) but the bin wagon has just come down our road. If they are working the gritters and buses should be close behind.
Bradford’s home game called off due to waterlogged pitch. I’m guessing water will be a bigger problem than snow as it rains through the day.
Doncaster off with a waterlogged pitch as well.
Hopefully Bramell Lane will be okay, they had a new pitch installed a couple of years back with better drainage
