Leicester City's game expected to escape snowfalls
Leicester City's FA Cup fourth round tie at Huddersfield is not expected to be threatened by the heavy snow forecast for the next 24 hours.
Heavy snow is expected across Yorkshire for three hours on Friday night, but that will turn to sleet during the early hours of Saturday morning.
The John Smith's Stadium is protected by undersoil heating and officials at Huddersfield are not expecting any problems.
That will be a big relief to the 4,000 City fans heading for the game. City have sold-out their entire allocation for the cup clash.

“Living only a few miles from the McAlpine, sorry John Smiths it won't be the pitch thats a problem if the forecast of snow is correct. The main problem will be the surronding area of the Stadium, normally when it snows up here Huddersfield tends to get the worse of it.
But we'll keep our fingers crossed and hope the game goes ahead so that I can again have a good day at the office with the Town fans?”
