Didn't take long..............

20 degrees? I would fucking die. We were going crazy in LA, when it was 40 degrees last week at night.

You would pull your hair out during MN winters. Had a "Real Feel" of -27 yesterday. Things haven't gotten better yet.

Let me recommend a hit of X before the game. Then you'll stay warm and not care when the Packers bite it.

In fact, you might just hope they "bite it".

How cold was it last year? I remember they kept hyping it as possibly the coldest game ever there and it ended up being like top 10 or something.

I could never live anywhere that cold though.

Yeah, it was supposed to be too cold for the 9ers and too cold for the Giants, both times. I think people forget that the Packers players get cold too.

I have a question for those that live in GB.

Do you have to plug in your cars at night to keep the engine block from freezing?
I know that is SOP in places like Canada.

I could never do without Winter. And I need real winters. But if your plugging in your car at night that might be past my limits.

I'll never forget how red Tom Coughlin's face got that playoff game.

You gotta give it to those GB season ticket holders. To endure that weather for three hours is crazy. That is dedication. I am certainly a passionate fan and bleed cardinal red, but if it was 20 degrees out here I would give up my season tickets and watch the game from my warm couch.

GL, GB. I'm looking forward to yo smacking the arrogance right out of those Cowboy fans.

I lived in Phoenix for 8 years prior to my current 8 year stint in Chicago.

It's not as bad as it sounds. You easily adapt and get used to it.

 

[The Derski]

How many times are we going to hear reference to this??

Why are Cowboys making shirts commemorating a game in which they lost?

 

[The Derski]

The guy wearing the shirt looks like he is about to commit a terrorist attack.

Good question.

I see a high of 13 with W winds 8-13MPH

That is still plenty cold

Wind chill makes that at about 0 to 2 degrees F.

Yes, but how many years did it take you to adjust ?

If you are new to that type of cold, its pretty dominating.

 

[Dolemite censored]

NOAA's wind chill calculator, assuming 13 degrees and wind at 12 mph, puts the effective temperature at -1.

Comeon Packers...just make sure someone cuts the power off to the Cowboy suite, that would be priceless watching Christie-n-JJ having to "huddle up" again for warmth...

 

[ducky]

With all the fancy under Armor type of gear they make, a game in this type of weather really isn't so bad. But yeah being used to it certainly helps.

Just make sure you don't have any exposed skin and you'll be fine. If I am a coach, instead of being the tough Bud Grant type, I would make hoods with face masks mandatory and tell everyone they have no excuses because dressed like that, it isn't cold especially if you are moving around.

I wouldn't even know how to do something like that. I'd assume that's only in remote Canada and northern Alaska.

Anyway, cold doesn't feel the same to people who live in northern climates. 20 degrees is perfectly comfortable with a winter jacket. Zero degrees and maybe you start to think about throwing a hat or gloves on.

Right now weather forecast for next Sunday in Green Bay is 20 degrees... far from Ice Bowl conditions.

I went to 2 of the colder games in Lambeau history... game vs Lions and another vs Raiders, my feet were $&#% cold by the end of the game, cannot imagine how Ice Bowl was.

20 degrees is a walk in the park IMO (hopefully not for the Cowboys).

Wasn't the the playoff game between the Giants and Green Bay at least as cold as the Ice Bowl a few years ago ('07 I believe)?

That was the fifth coldest according to NFL.com

The second coldest with a wind chill of -59 had to be so nasty. The temp without the windchill was a little warmer than the Ice Bowl but the wind was much worse which is a huge difference
