I hope the organization has the fore thought to take special note of the player's families needs in this storm.  If the players are worried about loved ones it could be a huge distraction.  Advantage Cards.  Their families are not having to deal with this.

Is this for real?  It's a few inches of snow, not a hurricane

Im in Gastonia (30 mins from Charlotte) and we have about an inch or two of snow here. Sleet mix earlier for nearly a full hour before the snow hit Going to have another 24 hours of sleet and snow with rain at the least. The field is going to be poo. Tolbert and Stew are going to feast. Have fun running deep routes on roller skates, Cards.

Is it still snowing on you? The sleet turned to snow about an hour ago in charlotte. And it's coming down hard

im laying in my bed, relaxing in my own dutch oven and thinking about this. with our shitty corners outside of josh norman, it could be key to slow down that passing attack. it could be beneficial to harper, as he's slow as poo.

im praying for a shitty field sunday night, and freezing temperatures. if only the game were to be played saturday

The weather is an advantage.  I'm not as worried about fans getting to the game.  It's a 6:40 PM kickoff.  The snow will have stopped.  It's supposed to be clear but still freezing.  So, they will get the roads and the stadium clear, but there will still be snow everywhere.  77 and 85 will be fine.  Tailgating and street festivities will have an extra spark of magic.

AZ will come in, probably won't be the easiest flight or landing and driving in to the hotel, traveling to the stadium they will see the world covered in white, very different from their native desert climate.  If it were a team like Buffalo or Green Bay, I wouldn't think the weather would be much of an advantage, but being on the road and having this exotic weather might contribute to a serious lack of focus for the Cards.

Not to mention, as the home team, we come out strong and fast like we did against Seattle and they feel that cold air and look at the piles of snow, they are going to want to go home.

The more snow we get, the more of an advantage it is.

I think it gives the home team a psychological edge.

If you can't get hype and overcome a little bit of snow and ice for the NFC Championship, turn in your fan card. Now.

But what about my delicate disposition?

Did you try changing to Greenville? The snow is really coming down in Charlotte right now

Thank you for the recommendation uncfann88, my flight on Saturday into CTL was cancelled due to mother nature (Big Middle Finger). Now flying into Greenville and renting a car to make the drive into Charlotte. Not missing this game!!!!

I've got 4.5 inches of snow, with a coating of sleet and ice on top of it outside here in the foothills of SC.
