I was out snowmobiling on a lake in MI the day Cinci played some other team I don't remember in one of the coldest NFL games of all time. I think I remember the wind chill being -30 or something ridiculous. I was 12 or 13, so it would've been '82 or '83... I also remember that the other team was from a warm climate and it fucked them up... game wasn't close.

I think my point is, bundle up and get your fucking shit done. (Kind of kidding. I was up in Stowe a couple years ago when the air temp was -8 and we just put on full face masks and skied all day. As long as you've got good gear, and you're moving...)

That was the 1981 AFC Championship game.

That was a week after The Epic In Miami. The Chargers has a complete 180 in terms of weather conditions: heatstroke and cramping one week, Hoth the next.

Brutal cold here - 0 fahrenheit and windy as hell.

But it could be worse... up to two feet of snow falling in Buffalo (they had 8 inches yesterday!)

Funny, looking at that page, I almost wrote -60 in my post, because I remember that being talked about at the time. I guess that means of measuring wind chill is out-dated.

Yes, I always remember that game as being touted as having wind chills near -59F. But the way wind chill is calculated has changed in the mean time, so the new estimate is wind chills that day where in the high -30s.
