I was covering the game. Like you say, when I got there at 5pm there was a little snow on the pitch and everything was fine. Then the first flurry covered the pitch a little more but a great effort to clear the lines. Rather than just abandoning the game, if they had let the snow stop. Wait 20 minutes, clear the lines again then I don't see any reason why the game couldn't have been completed.
Not sure it was really playable after that 20 minute blizzard, it was no longer just a covering. I think on balance player safety would have been severely compromised, but yes it may have been possible.
However I don't think anyone would have guessed that at the point it was abandoned. Shame because both teams looked up for it.
