Snow season is back, which means fun football games.
A large section of the United States has been hit by snowstorms this week, with the Pacific Northwest and Midwest, in particular, experiencing heavy snowfall.

Of course, it’s not always fun and games when winter arrives, but the NFL has managed to get through some harsh conditions in recent seasons, including the coldest game ever played, which took place last term.
According to reports, West Virginia could be hit by up to two feet of snow this weekend. It’s already snowing therein, and it isn’t expected to stop until Saturday.
“It’s pouring down snow in Canaan Valley, West Virginia which could see 1 to 2 feet by Saturday,” Capital Weather Gang noted via X.
Thursday’s Cleveland Browns Game Could Be Affected By Snow
The Cleveland Browns are playing the Pittsburgh Steelers in this week’s iteration of ‘Thursday Night Football’ and could be impacted as the Ohio city is expected to snow ahead of the game.
“It’s going to be a cold, wet night in Cleveland tonight,” a meteorologist wrote.
“Thankfully the wind will be easing from this afternoon, dropping from around 25-30mph sustained winds down to 15mph, however it’s the wet stuff that I feel is going to have the biggest impact tonight. While not expected to be heavy, we could have a sustained mix of rain/snow for a large part of tonight’s game.
“This could lead to wet and slippery conditions for a large part of the game tonight. That, combined with the near freezing temperatures and wind, makes for tough footballing conditions for players.”
The fixture will air exclusively on Amazon Prime this Thursday night, with kickoff set for 8:15 p.m. ET.
