There was snow on the ground when we arrived and it was snowing heavily, the forecast was for snow up until late afternoon so it was only going to get worse. It was the right call to cancel - if it had started it would have been a case of when not if it got stopped. Given that a course car hit a chicane and a Land Rover had to bail out of a chicane the organisers had no choice but to cancel.
We needed a push up the slope from the access tunnel into the pitlane for scrutineering and then a tow back up the slope to get back to service. We helped push another crews car and also a marshals car that were also stuck. We had to wait for a tow back into service as the recovery crew were towing the car ahead back (and returned to get the car behind us and the one behind that).
So whilst it was a shame we didn't get to play it was the right call.
