Sleet in Blackburn. Started with rain about 10am. Guess it depends on level of river. Higher the river and rain can't be properly drained away.

Updated: snowing now. 

It is in Preston too now, but it's forecast to stop in a couple of hours. I can see many of the 471 Millwall fans not making it today.

Preston Rail Station is closed to all passengers so I am not sure Millwall fans would be able to change trains onto the minor line to East Lancs.

I am in Leyland at present and the weather is foul and the snow is sticking.  There is sadly a good chance the game will be off.

Snowing heavily around Ewood.

Forecast is sleet & snow up to 3pm - massive snow fakes now. Does not look good for the game.

Is it Mowbray in or Mowbray out Chaddy ?

Its all about Rovers winning today and getting second place if we don't then ensure we get a playoff place by end of the season.

I am going to set off from Warton at about a quarter to Two.

Huge flakes and sticking 

[speedies gonna get ya.]

I was worried about this looking at the forecast for today. Just hope the pitch isn't under surface water. When rain stopped at half time in PNE match pitch was much better in 2nd half. We need rain/snow to stop before KO to allow it to drain. Fingers crossed.

You must be getting the weather about 15 mins after me. The flakes are now small here and the sky is lightening.

[Madon]

Cars not getting up the main road near me in Baxenden. It'll be off if it keeps this up no doubt about it just due to them deeming the surrounding areas unsafe.

Those lads from Chile must be thinking WTF?

Even god thinks the double decker tickets was a bad idea.

No chance the games going to be on…this isn’t meant to stop until kick off.

God must be a rovers fan and waiting for Diaz to be fit

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Coming down heavily in Rochdale and the sky looks full of it.

[chaddyrovers]

Rich Sharpe has said the game is on and there are no concerns on the game being off

Yes was at the Preston game. First half the ball was literally holding up up in puddles of surface water. Totally ruined the football. But was totally fine by second half.

 

[Wheelton Blue]

It's heading west to east. Virtually stopped now in Wheelton, so I'd expect the same at Ewood anytime soon.

‘As things stand’ he said though, throws in an element of doubt. Please don’t be off, COYB
