With snow falling all over Manchester ahead of Fulham's visit, we take a look at the tundras City teams past and present have played in.
Of course, it was Fulham's visit last season that brought the treacherous conditions and hilarious scenes of groundsmen clearing the touchlines in stoppages of play.
While it's not as bad this time around, it's still time to celebrate the time of year when the orange footballs come out!
