Once again Lancashire's Vodkat League clubs will be hoping to beat the weather in the latest round of fixtures at the weekend.
The most notable game could be at the Anchor Ground, where Darwen will potentially host their last ever match.
The club face a winding-up order in court on Wednesday and would be automatically removed from the league if the order was enforced.
Darwen have not played at home since the beginning of November.
AFC Blackpool are the visitors for a Division One game that could turn out to be a historic occasion.
In the Premier Division, league leaders AFC Fylde recorded a useful cup win over Bacup Borough in midweek, but they face a difficult trip to fourth-placed Congleton Town.
Bacup, however, are unlikely to be able to bounce back into action unless several inches of snow can be removed from their pitch at the Brian Boys Stadium in time to host New Mills.
Another team who have suffered at the hands of the weather are Ramsbottom United, who will be hoping to play their first league game of 2009 at Atherton LR.
Just one defeat in eight games coupled with a good home record should mean that Squires Gate will be confident of continuing their good run at home to Alsager Town.
With no win in 11 league outings, Colne are in relegation trouble and need to take something from a visit to fellow strugglers Flixton.
Nelson's last home win was at the end of August, but they will be hopeful of breaking that run when Winsford United visit Victoria Park.
In the quarter-final of the Division One Trophy, Padiham's outstanding run of form sees them start as firm favourites at home to lowly Holker Old Boys.
