Snow Game?


Jakob

Recommended Posts

- If the predicted temperature of 19 degrees for Sunday's game at Minnesota doesn't change significantly, it will be the second coldest in the history of the Carolina Panthers.

At Green Bay several years back, the forecast was for heavy snow, something like 6 inches during the game. I remember the TV coverage kept showing radar, saying the snow would start any minute for much of the game, but it held off until almost the end of the 4th quarter. Snow game averted, I think that was the one where Steve had the long catch to the 1 to give us the win.

Yep. I was there.

It snowed upwards of five inches on our ride back to Milwaukee. Had that game been played at four, it would have been played in a good bit of snow.

I remember 12/3/2000, simply because I turned down tix to that game against the Rams in CLT since I was attending the UF-Auburn SEC game in Atlanta the previous late afternoon.  Driving home, it was cold as hell and snow was in the forecast, but I believe it missed to the north of Charlotte up in the I-40 corridor that day, likely the closest chance to a home snow game there has been.  I remembered driving that Sunday morning back on I-85 north, dreary, the sky looked like snow, and the crosswind from the north was hell, the wind chill had to be brutal that day, I'm too damned lazy to look up the boxscore and see what the weather was listed as.

I was there. They were predicting significant snowfall that didnt pan out. I've never been so cold in my life.

With Shula's game planning ... a snow game would mean 60 pass play and 5 run plays .... GENIUS!!!!!

Northern teams love snow and amp up there pass attack in it. Passing O actually gains an edge pending we aren't talking about a blizzard.
