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

Another announcement due at 4, but looks like it'll be on

Still on but further announcement expected at 5pm.

If it still on, further announcement at 5pm, followed by 6pm & 7pm, wrap up really warm of behind the sticks, due to the lack of cladding (unfinished stadium) that okay Saint Simon lol

I thought things were looking good until about an hour ago when the snow suddenly decided to go mad again! It will take a fan of a hardy kind to go to Langtree Park tonight. The players will be cold enough but the fans will be hypothermic!

Game ON Saints v Salford just been given the go ahead. Commentary @bbcradiomanc from 6

Game well may be on but seriously who wants to watch a game disrupted by weather like this. Should have been cancelled IMHO.

I don't think there will be many people watching tonight. The snow is coming down thick and fast, and that wind is strong and freezing cold. I'm tempted not to go myself even though I'm a season ticket holder. It will be perishing in the West Stand.

At times like this you seriously wonder about the people running things at Saints.

Some on here want to stiffen their backbones! A little bit of snow and wind shouldn't put fans off.
Put on a couple of extra layers and take flask of brandy infused coffee. Jobs a good un.

The pitch is perfectly fine as it was covered and it has been cleared to play on by the relevant match official person. I think Saints want to avoid a short turnaround for the Wigan match and I'm sure Salford feel similarly for their Good Friday game and so they are pressing ahead regardless. The snow isn't sticking at present but of course that could change. However, that wind is bloody freezing.
