Related: About this forumThe weather will be so bad in Minnesota that Vikings playoff tickets are selling for dirt cheap
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/weather-bad-minnesota-vikings-playoff-201900153.htmlThe Minnesota Vikings will host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, marking the first time since 1976 that the Vikings will host a playoff game in an outdoor stadium.
And with AccuWeather's forecast predicting a high of three degrees Fahrenheit and a "Real Feel" of -17 degrees Fahrenheit, ticket prices for the game have fallen off a cliff....
Unsurprisingly, the cheapest seats in the stadium are not just in the nosebleeds they are in the corners of the stadium smack in the middle of west-northwest winds whipping in from the stadium's scoreboard cutaway....
If the teams kick off in subzero temperatures, it will be for just the second time ever in Vikings' history and the first since 1972. For the Seahawks, Sunday is likely to be the coldest game in franchise history.

Hopefully the Sea Slugs will fall off a cliff, too. Skol Vikings!

I feel cheated not seeing one good snow game this year. I thought last week's Green Bay or Buffalo games would deliver the snow, but both missed the predicted snows by one day.

Or were you in Czechoslovakia like Joeybee?

He'd either be in the Czech Republic or Slovakia.

I'm a cable challenged viewer and the local west coast broadcasters didn't carry it. Was it an ESPN game?
That's pretty good snow if it's just the 1st quarter. I like to see six inch yard line troughs by the third quarter.
