Could tonight's game be called off?

This country is a joke with snow

I used to spend a fair bit of time in Russia in winter and flying out from there every few weeks. They just got on with it. Sort out the runway,De-ice the wings and get the flights going. Same as in South Korea where my missus is from, most winters are about -10°c
or colder. When we’re there in winter, you just get on with it, as they do with flights

A little bit of snow or ice in England and they shite themselves

In Toronto they have the "Path" kind of an underground City, ideal for when the snow arrives but used all year long, great place

PATH – Toronto's Downtown Pedestrian Walkway

The PATH is a mostly underground pedestrian walkway network in downtown Toronto that spans more than 30 kilometres of restaurants, shopping, services and entertainment. The walkway facilitates pedestrian linkages to public transit, accommodating more than 200,000 business-day commuters as well...

It better not be. If Spurs were intending on flying up and are thinking of using the airport closure as an excuse then they better get in a coach quick because the roads are fine.

Surely they would have traveled up last night in anticipation of the weather deteriorating?

If it is deemed necessary to clear snow from runways and taxiways due to safety concerns, how else can you do it, without closing the runways for a period of time?

Clear it as it falls, you don't close roads to clear them?

I'm in Stockport (obviously) and it's not that bad now. Was pretty slippy in the morning but the sun has melted most of it, not sure how it will be tonight but i see no huge issues with cancelling.

They would have stayed in Manchester overnight.

How do you clear snow as it falls from an operational runway?

I live in Levenshulme. The trains were fucked this morning, but the trains are always fucked. But weather wise this is perfect beautiful winter football weather. You couldn't ask for better conditions.

I’m working in harpurhey (2 miles from stadium) and the sun’s shining
Considering wearing shorts tonight now

I see Manchester Airport has closed both runways (temporarily) due to heavy snowfall, what chance do we give the game being called off later tonight for the same reason?

Surely not, as where this game would be reorganized to again I've no idea.

They'll be no issues rearranging the game. If we'd have got to the Carabao Cup final we'd have had to cancel a game so there's deffo space.

I think I'm the only one hoping it's called off. Freezing cold. Would rather stay at home in my onesie next to the fire
