Game In Any Doubt Tomorrow?

[CW 90+3 02/05/16]

Since we've had this thread for every home game since the Celtic one on the 30th of December.

Snow forecast for Dundee from midnight tonight until lunchtme tomorrow with gale force winds.

Met office warning for both.

Hopefully it doesn't lie and isn't too bad.

Under soil heating deals with snow. Fixed drainage system deals with resultant water.

Only risk to the game is if the wind causes structural damage.

Edit - maybe also if surrounding area is bad. But we're not expecting that much snow I don't think. Certainly not as much as they had at Firhill a fortnight ago.

I would have thought travel for those from the west would be the main factor rather than playing conditions.

Forecast for Saturday looks a bit Blizzardy...

We played Motherwell at Dens this time last year in a blizzard and humped them 4-1. Same again would do nicely.

4-1 against Thistle wasn't played in blazing sunshine either.

I must admit I was thinking that at the time.

We *do* seem to play well in the snow!

That said - the wind forecast is a helluva lot stronger than either of our recent snowbound games.

(Hoping it IS on, obviously, but it'll be bloody freezing!)

Hellish in Edinburgh on Sat morning with snow falling and strong wind......what is it like in Dundee and roads between?

[R2Dee2]

Bright and generally clear at the moment, with a light overnight dusting of snow on the ground. And no wind.

Current conditions should not be causing any concern.

Wind getting up a bit and snowing again.

some "severe" incidents on roads in central belt

The snow has stopped here again in Dundee and we have a bit of sunshine.
