Coldest/worst weather at a City match

Have to agree ref the Everton home game a few years ago,but I think the Fulham at home (re-arranged game) on a Wednesday in late Jan/Feb 2012 was fooking horrendous.
This was the game we won 4-0 but we had the snow shovellers on during the game attempting to move the snow from the lines.The bastard snow and wind even got to us way up in the "gods" in CB3 and honestly the snow was even coming down on us and I`ve never known it that bad at The Etihad.
The other worst conditions is way back in 1967/68 at Maine Road and the recent thread "Ballet on Ice" (v Spurs 4-1) was the next worst conditions,but some of the finest football I`ve ever seen in my 50+ years of watching our lads.
I`ve just had a thought.Was the Fulham game the re-arranged one when the midweek original game was called off for those wild winds that saw it blow over the Programme Stand or was that the Villa game that was re-arranged last season,the second of our two home games ?
Had a fair few beers at home tonight,including my second large Bacardi and Coke,so the old grey matter is getting a little confused,or maybe its just my fooking age.

That was the original day for the Sunderland game.
 
I remember a game at Maine Road where it pissed down before and during the game. They went one up and then we levelled, at this point the ref called it off. Forget who,it was against though.


Edit: It was City V Ipswich in the Worthington cup 1/4 Final.

Just posted in the West Brom thread about this. Blue underpants reckons it was a bit parky at the Villa cup game when Micah Richards equalised in the last minute but I don't remember it being that bad that night.

Boro in the FA Cup 3rd round in Jan 2010 was fucking awful though. Blizzards all the way there and back, driving sleet and snow off the North Sea during the game and we were huddled together like penguins for any warmth we could get. There wasa game against Wigan about three seasons ago in January where it was so cold I could barely feel my feet and struggled to walk afterwards.

Swansea last New Year's Day wasn't cold but it chucked it down relentlessly when we came out of the ground and we got bloody soaked through to the skin. Took me hours to dry out.

Any others you remember?

Just mentioned that trip to Villa to my Mrs she shivered, it was cold in the ground, it was colder waiting for the train into Brum at Witton and then we met our friends in a pub near the Bull Ring and it had no heating on I swear there were Penguins at the bar lol
On the train back to Manchester it was an old rattler and that had no heating on either, my Mrs has very thin blood and feels the cold a lot, by the time we got home about Midnight she was done in and just jumped straight into a hot bath
I was at that Swansea game last New Year, 3 of us walked from the ground to Swansea centre, had to virtually strip off in a boozer and put our clothes on radiators, never seen rain at a match like that for years
 
Grimsby away in the 80s when we lost 4-1 was fucking freezing. Gale blowing in off the North Sea
 
Carlisle at home in the mid 80's. Lost 3-1, after David Phillips had put us in front in the first minute. Temperature reached something like -17, and there were only about two games played across the country cos of the weather. I was on the Kippax and had two pairs of trousers on and two coats. Feckin' freezing
 
The abandoned ipswich game,as wet as you can get. Wba away midweek when kinkladze scored for a one nil win,so cold i couldnt move.
 
ice station zebra one year many moons ago when the City match was called off at villa

think they were playing Blackpool and they were very confused there were three sets of supporters singing there that day
