Forecast currently cloudy and 2 degrees for Podington on Saturday.

Now changed to snow showers.. and lows of -3c

And there we were hoping it would be 10c and sunny

I won't even be able to wash my car this weekend

Bloody weather... Last time we went and it had been raining it was ages until we were allowed to run.

Blimey... can't catch a break with the weather for meets at the moment!

Rybo89 · 13 Mar 2018 at 20:11

We are supposedly having heavy snow again in Chesterfield. Still says it will be clear at Santapod.

Snow for Friday night in Bradford. Hopefully it won't be anything serious. I'll be gutted as I'm looking forward to it lol

If there is loads of snow but not at Pod could put a lot of people off travelling in snow effected areas maybe giving us advantage of a quiet day.

Akagi · 13 Mar 2018 at 22:17

Or... People could all turn up from miles around, to discover they aren't allowed to run.

But which one!

Vita · 13 Mar 2018 at 23:15

It'll be alright I guess. Just remember to wrap up warm.

Joe T · 14 Mar 2018 at 06:15

Being an old airfield the windchill could easily be something like -10! :eek:

Looks to be alright...metoffice site says snow @ 6am, 60% chance so will have to see if this changes. Rest of day just looks cold af.

Havana_UK · 14 Mar 2018 at 11:15

Weather looks like it's going to be cold but hopefully dry on the day....are people still going? I'm moving house and I've been informed by my boss (wife) that I really don't have time for it this weekend, but if folks are still going and it's not going to be rammed I'll still come along, at least for the morning.

ScoobyDoo69 · 14 Mar 2018 at 13:52

I'd say the plan is still on, unless weather shifts dramatically.

Akagi · 14 Mar 2018 at 13:56

Im still up for it. *shrug*

Actually seems more promising if its going to be damn freezing. Might put some people off = more runs!

Means our cars will be faster too.

ScoobyDoo69 · 14 Mar 2018 at 17:20

If it doesn't affect it getting off the line that is...

Yep, I'll be chickening out if it's near freezing.. for "launch" purposes of course

That early February day we went last year was awful

Rybo89 · 14 Mar 2018 at 17:41
