Hey, just wanted to say that you are loved more than you could ever imagine, no matter what is going on in your life. Life can be incredibly hard, but we are blessed so much by our Lord and savior. The people in your life, the phone or computer you’re reading this on, and the simple act of breathing are all huge blessings. Don’t focus on the negatives, or what has or could go wrong. Focus on Jesus and the many blessings He gives us every day. Smile and take a breath. God’s got it figured out already, and is taking care of you. He has never let you down, and won’t start now. He’s coming back. Are you ready? God bless. God is so beyond amazing.

The freezer bowl blows my mind. I tried to go for a walk once when it was -25. At first it didn't seem so bad. I got half way around the block and suddenly thought, 'This was a mistake.' It felt like my body was starting to freeze and the slight breeze felt like absolute murder, especially on my eyes. After getting back in the house, it was a very weird feeling after a few moments.. where the only way I can describe it is my body thawing out. Like every muscle just suddenly relaxed all at once. I actually like cold weather, and can shrug off -15.. but that was terrible. ..and it was nowhere close to -59, so I can't even imagine what that could have been like, let alone trying to run around and play football.

A little history behind the final play of the Ice Bowl, the play wasn't designed as a QB sneak it was supposed to be a handoff to Donny Anderson and they actually tried that play twice already but Anderson kept losing his footing on the field due to the grass being frozen. So Bart Starr went over to Lombardi and suggested doing a sneak since he was closer to the goal line and Lombardi responded with "Then run it and let's get the hell out of here."

During warm-up (there wasn't much pre-game warm-up though!) they noticed it didn't matter how much you bundled up, the cold wind just cut through everything, so they went sleeveless, also to stun the Chargers players, who were all bundled up, "We're from here, we can handle this cold." And they did. And the Chargers couldn't. Dan Fouts also had a bad game. Guy from San Diego who grew up in rainy Oregon, and his hands simply froze. Ken Anderson had the biggest hands of any NFL QB, which helped grip the frozen ball. Ken also had a history of playing well in all sorts of bad weather games, like the weather simply didn't phase him. Chargers WR Kellen Winslow was one of several players, most of them on the Chargers, who suffered from actual frostbite and needed treatment.

I played Rugby for Michigan State in the '80's. The worst conditions I can remember had 3 inches of snow on the field then the temperature rose just enough to give us an icy sleet. About an hour before the game the temp dropped to 15 degrees. It was 3 inches of snow covered with a quarter inch of ice. Everyone was bleeding after that game. Not to mention how much every hit hurts more in the cold.

[@axgoat]

My son played rugby and in a national playoff round in the Chicago area in 2017 players were suffering hypothermia. No snow. Your game sounds worse!

[@adamr6794]

I too have endured similar Rugby conditions. We had an annual snow bowl played in Northern Vermont where those exact conditions already existed when the sun came up that day. 10 inches of snow covered the pitch... topped with an icy 2 inch hard crust. Absolute blood bath. We should have just called Red Cross and donated 2 pints each. Instead we left it in the snow. Another favorite is when the pitch is frozen for the playoffs but thaws when the sun is high in the sky midday...then the sun starts to set and the pitch freezes again for the finals... this time with a billion cleat imprints that make it similar to plating on a giant bed of nails. Still the best sport ever.

Hey, just wanted to say that you are loved more than you could ever imagine, no matter what is going on in your life. Life can be incredibly hard, but we are blessed so much by our Lord and savior. The people in your life, the phone or computer you’re reading this on, and the simple act of breathing are all huge blessings. Don’t focus on the negatives, or what has or could go wrong. Focus on Jesus and the many blessings He gives us every day. Smile and take a breath. God’s got it figured out already, and is taking care of you. He has never let you down, and won’t start now. He’s coming back. Are you ready? God bless. God is so beyond amazing.

Such a great video. Three of the most memorable games were 1) the Fog Bowl between Philly and Chicago in 1988...that game started off sunny for at least the first quarter and then got ridiculously bad; 2) the Freezer Bowl between San Diego and Cincinnati...I think that was the first time I saw someone using the Hot Hands product, which is fairly common now in ski resorts and REI stores; and 3) the snow playoff game between New England and Oakland in 2001...both teams actually moved the ball well despite what seemed like a LOT of snow accumulation.

Love this! My absolute favorite bad weather game ("bad" being relative because I LOVE the snow) was the 2017 Bills-Colts game in Buffalo. LeSean McCoy ran it in for the game-winning TD at the end of that epic blizzard brawl! Gotta love the snow angels in the end zone :)

Graupel happens in Cleveland every year between late November and mid-December.
