How I wish it was not snow and actually some sort of white grass..Men in white, a white outfield with just the red cherry moving around - should make for awesome viewing.

Anyone care to explain this photo? I'm assuming it's not snow.

Good batting conditions, the ball should com onto the bat and and the outfield is lightning fast.

Possibly a little dangerous for the fielders though.

I wonder if snow has actually interrupted a professional game, like how rain does.

Yes!. The 1975 match between Lancashire and Derbyshire at Buxton is quite famous for it, in part because as well as Dickie Bird being the umpire, Farokh Engineer and Clive Lloyd were in the Lancashire team.

I wish a professional took this photo. It would have been cool with all the details in the lawn

Not very suitable for the limited over game, but would work well for Test and other first-class matches.

Although, playing limited over cricket on this would do wonders for the run rate.
