This Sunday’s NFL Game in Green Bay: Coldest Ever?

 

January 3rd, 2014 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.

The latest GFSx MOS temperature forecast is now -8 deg. F -10 deg. F for game time in Green Bay on Sunday evening for the playoff game between the Packers and the 49ers. This is getting awfully close to the record coldest NFL game temperature of -13 deg. F, set Dec. 31, 1967 at Lambeau Field during “The Ice Bowl”, the NFL Championship game between the Packers and Dallas Cowboys.

The 2nd coldest game was Jan. 10, 1982 at Riverfront Stadium during the AFC Championship game between Cincinnati Bengals and San Diego Chargers, at -9 deg. F, so Sundays game might take the #2 spot instead.

The deciding factor will be the timing of how fast the coldest air moves in on Sunday. The air mass is plenty cold enough to break the record, with a Monday high temperature forecast of -14 deg. F.

The top 10 coldest NFL games are listed here. Makes my hands hurt just thinking about it.

That's just Spencer. According to NASA, the game time temp will be a balmy 70 degrees...

any chance the game might be postponed? it could be dangerous to be out there - people getting frostbite etc. Will some players come out in short sleeves? will there be a shirtless fan?

Isn't it kind of bullshit that the 8-7-1 Packers get to host while the 12-4 Niners have to travel and play in the freezing cold? :huh:

I'm not so sure this doesn't play to the Niners advantage They may be better built for the cold than the Packers are.

Candlestick is a cold, cold place.

The Packers defense looks full of holes...

Cheese joke? Good one!

Maybe Aaron Rodgers' mustache is an ironic comment about his franchise's home state. Makes as much sense as anything else...
