Heimdallr Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Today is the first day in over a week where it is getting above 10 degrees. Been below 0 more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klomp Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 It feels even worse when you factor in the semi-regular 30-40 mph winds living just east of the Buffalo Ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football can be played in sub-zero weather. But performance is hindered by the cold, and some aspects of football are affected more than others; e.g passing, kicking. Scores may be lower, emphasizing the importance of turnovers, time of possession, and field position. I hope that clarifies my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To claim so is a Straw Man Argument. See above post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Performance is hindered by heat also.... 75 isn''t hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
