It was due to host a number of races today, with punters ready to back their favourite fillies.
But fans were left devastated when chiefs abandoned all racing due to the adverse conditions.
An initial warning was put out to punters this morning on social media.
The message read: “We have called a 10am track inspection for racing this evening, after more snow than expected overnight.
“Local roads are accessible and are expected to remain so.”
Two hours later fans were told to potentially expect the worse.
Southwell Racecourse tweeted: “Following 3” of snow overnight the track remains unraceable.
“However we have seen significant improvement. A further inspection will be held at 11:30 a.m. We are cautiously optimistic.”
