What's the weather like over in St Helens? Any danger of the match not going ahead tonight?

In Preston we've got light snow but it's not sticking due to the wet ground. Is it any different there?

I'm in Wigan, unfortunately, and the roads are fine. I know it's not St. Helens, but it's closer than Preston.

Blizzard conditions for me in Town Centre. Not sticking too badly lots of slush. THink game will be ok.

As per our Twitter feed (@saints1890) as of now the game is on with a further decision expected after midday. The under 19s match is off. - Saints Facebook Page

Glorious sunshine, the sun shines on the righteous

Wet snow flying around, mostly slush on the ground but this is due to continue all day and so if it does then it could cause problems in the area around the stadium. The pitch itself has had covers on since the captain's run yesterday so should be fine.

It'll come down to how safe the walk ways in and around the stadium are, with very little traffic or people in them last night and today, they'll be bad without treatment

Game still on, another announcement expected at 1.30.

It's not the pitch that's causing concern, its the surrounding areas apparently.

Roads clear in Knowsely. Rest of the snow is melting as its reasonably mild (out of the wind). They won't call this off unless something dramatic changes.

As I alluded to earlier.
Now who's going to mention cladding

Saints have just asked on Twitter for volunteers with shovels to help shift snow off the pitch.

I'm surprised they've taken the covers off so early. They had it all covered over from the captain's run yesterday.

Unless the snow is being cleared off the covers of course!

There's a lot of weather heading NNE'wards right toward 'Tellins. The radar on this sight shows it well - and up here that'll all fall as snow. I reckon it will hit properly around early evening. Could be an interesting game. Or half a game. www.raintoday.co.uk/

Game still on but continuing to remove snow from pitch. Will update again shortly - Saints Twitter
