This shouldn't be much of a factor with these two teams.

Yeah, just adds to the awesome factor!

Care to explain? Do you just throw words out there and hope we understand?

Before you guys get excited, I don't think bad weather is to our advantage anymore. We are a pass-first team, and aren't as physical running the ball as we were last year.

Most years, I would feel very comfortable with bad weather, but we aren't as tough in the trenches like we were. (a RT, or RG would really help)

I remember, in the Billick years, we were terrible in adverse weather. I hope we're at least better than that.

I selfishly don't want snow because I don't want it to hit Delaware and I don't feel like shoveling.

There, I said it. I'm lazy. What do you want from me!?!?!

Other than that, it'd make for great atmosphere for the game...as long as it's gone the next morning by some stroke of luck or never hits up here in Northern Delaware.

True. Snow definitely adds to the experience.

[HaX]

looks like no snow/rain at all

[svt2nv04]

Yep, forecast has changed. Only a measly 10% chance of precipitation now. It's saying partly cloudy.

[Natural Born Hitters]

Just got a ticket for the game Sunday. This will probably be the coldest game I have been to yet. How many layers of clothes do you all normally wear to keep yourself decently warm for the entire game? Or is it impossible? Thanks.

[BirdWatcher]

Top
layer 1: wicking long underwear
layer 2: turtleneck
layer 3: Ravens fleece shirt or jersey
layer 3: good quality warm coat, [b]waterproof[/b] preferred

Bottom
layer 1: long underwear, wicking of course
layer 2: LL Bean fleece-lined jeans

Additional
As needed, foot and hand warmers, good quality mittens instead of gloves. Hand warmers work better with mittens.

Edit: forgot feet, which are critical; warm feet are a must.

Feet
Good fitting, NOT too snug, shoes or boots. One pair wicking socks covered by one pair of medium weight socks. If your shoes/boots feel too snug with two pair of socks, then don't do that. If your shoes are tight, your feet will freeze. You need a little airspace around them to keep them insulated. ToastyToes or Foot Warmers insoles are great but don't wait until your feet are already freezing before putting them on. Once your feet get cold, you can't get them warm again.

What about the sideline hat? or will it be the Sideline Bennie?

[Ravens Lover]

I still have my hair; I don't wear a hat unless it rains. Hats make my head sweat. A wet head is a cold head. If it's really windy, I'll wear a good pair of earmuffs, but that's it.

[Corvus]

I live in east Tennessee and it is snowing pretty good right now, which means it could very well still be passing through Maryland tomorrow night..

[Nightman]

You can get hand and foot warmers at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

There will be no snow. There will be some absolutely miserably rain and sleet though.

i've been watching the local news all day and they have said absolutely nothing about rain and sleet.

It affords you no advantage-we play in snow all the time at Three Rivers. In fact snow is better for our defense. Trust me you guys do not want snow. Maybe rain might help tho!

I hear it's not supposed to snow, but it's going to be cold and quite windy.
