Peterborough do not have under soil heating, let's hope it warms up.

from the official site,
Peterborough United have confirmed that a pitch inspection will be held at London Road at 10am on Saturday 11 February ahead of the npower Championship visit of West Ham United.
Heavy snowfall overnight between Thursday and Friday resulted in the pitch and stadium areas being covered in snow. With sub-zero temperatures expected on Friday night the decision has been made to leave the snow on the pitch until early Saturday morning as it will act as an insulation blanket until it is removed.
The Cambridgeshire club has appealed for at least 300 volunteers to assist with clearing the snow from the pitch early on Saturday morning. Ideally, Peterborough would like volunteers to arrive, preferably with snow shovels, from 7am and report to reception. All volunteers need to be over the age of 18.
The procedure will be to clear the snow from the covers on the pitch, transport it outside of the stadium to a designated tipping area and allow the covers to be removed for a 10am pitch inspection by the match referee Chris Sarginson.
A Peterborough spokesman has confirmed that the pitch-clearing operation is open to supporters of both clubs.
Gritting lorries will be deployed at the stadium and surrounding areas on Friday and on Saturday morning to ensure spectator safety outside of the ground.
With a capacity crowd expected at London Road, Posh chief executive Bob Symns said the club was eager for the game to go ahead.
"At the moment, the pitch beneath the covers is playable," he confirmed. "Obviously we are all now waiting for the results of the overnight temperatures. We are doing everything we can to ensure this game will take place, but we really need your assistance to remove the snow first thing on Saturday morning."
The official website and club's twitter feed will have all the latest developments from London Road on Saturday morning.

True, I was thinking just that after the Ipswich game was abandoned. Probably have been worse than calling it off on the morning.

And having done the midweek trip to Boro this season I don't need telling how much time and money the trip would have cost the Boro fans either.

Just a thought and ivo 13th March being the new date for this fixture, does this mean that Nolan will now miss the Crystal Palace match?
If so then "every cloud has a silver lining".

I concur Professor. Very shoddy behaviour from a tin pot outfit. If this freeze last for about weeks presumably their next half dozen home games will also be called off?
Course not. That is why they should be fined in my opinion.
