I’m in York about 30 miles north and there has been no snow as yet but flecks are starting
My inexpert opinion is that the track will be deemed raceable at the 11am inspection but may not be come Brocklesby time as the radar suggests there is, what appears to be, a short-lived clearance approaching from the west which will be followed by the more significant snow currently affecting the midlands and points further west. Furthermore given Doncaster’s low altitude the snow could materialise as sleet or rain with the temperature currently hovering around 1-2C
As such I don’t envy the Clerk his decision one bit. Sod’s Law decrees that cancellation – no snow; go-ahead – knee-deep drifts
I woke up to 3" of Snow this morning in Derbys some 40 miles south of Doncaster but my sources up there tell me they have had no significant snow at all,barely a scattering,racing may well get the go ahead today but I personally will be amazed if the Lincoln gets the go ahead tomorrow as its Snowing quite heavily here now and I’d bet 1/5 Doncaster gets a good 3" by then! I hope I’m wrong but I would imagine the meeting will get the go ahead for next Saturday,fingers crossed and that!
