It came across my feed from Deadspin. There isn't an article to support it, so I just posted the pics and a link to the Parks and Rec FB page.

Good lord. That looks wicked.

[Lonewolf Ed]

An Omen?

Yes, but good or ill?

These are pretty cool.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

The Packers game will sure be interesting . Calling for -4 to -20. Will be the coldest game in history. I think the frost bite will cost both teams dearly.

[TimeForWasp]

Antifreeze !!

[listopencil]

If you guys win you'd sure as fuck better have a frozen bloodcano every year you get in from now on.

[007]

"But look where it went!"
I said. "Look where it blew!
You blew the mess
Out of the house. That is true.
But now you made Snow Spots!
You can't let THEM stay!"
"Let us think about that now,"
Said C, B, and A.

Coldest game in history?

I thought there was a playoff game in Cincinnati in the early 80s where it was more than 30 below?

Am I imagining this? Anyone?

[BlackHelicopters]

What would Chuck Norris do?

[Rain Man]

Looks like an iceberg after some sort of killer whale and seal encounter.

The Ice Bowl got down to -13 w/ -48 windchild. I believe the -30 in Cincinnati was wind chill.

[notorious]

Yes, but good or ill?

Has anything good happened to the Chiefs in the last 20 years?


Sigh. I hope the trend changes.

[Window Licking Whiner]

I think you mean polar bear...cause last time I checked killer whales dont do alot if hunting and eating on icebergs

[listopencil]

If an artist had done this it would be heralded as a fun, community friendly exhibit to liven up the Winter.

[bevischief]

backfired

It's red not brown...

If I were Aaron Rodgers I'd call in sick and go stay at home with my man friend.

They just mentioned it on NFLN.

Wind chill got to -59.

[Rain Man]

I have little arctic experience. You could be right.

[JoeyChuckles]

Makes me want a snow cone.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Wind chill got to -59.

FWIW, the -59 was an outdated formula, and today it would register as -38.

The Ice Bowl was -36 F with the new formula, a game-time air temp of -15 F.

Awesome story:

The officials were unable to use their whistles after the opening kick-off. As referee Norm Schachter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_Schachter) blew his metal whistle to signal the start of play, it froze to his lips. As he attempted to free the whistle from his lips, the skin ripped off and his lips began to bleed. The conditions were so hostile that instead of forming a scab, the blood simply froze to his lip. For the rest of the game, the officials used voice commands and calls to end plays and officiate the game. At one point during the game, CBS announcer Frank Gifford (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gifford) said on air, "I'm going to take a bite of my coffee."<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference">[34] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_NFL_Championship_Game#cite_note-34)</sup>

[listopencil]

I should have added a poll to this thread, to vote on whether you think it's a win or a fail. I'm going with win because it looks cool even though unintended.

Shouldn't have been unintended....that thing freezes over all the time when it's cold like this.

[srvy]

That fountain is designed to flow 24-7 365 a year frozen or not. I live near there that thing has gotten much lager than this before.

[RINGLEADER]

I-29 and North Oak

Yeah I lived near there growing up too in Gladstone.

When they first put that fountain in they would let it freeze up and you could walk around inside it like an ice castle. Last few times it was wintery they had pussed out and not turned it on.

Glad to see the streets are once again running red with Andrew Luck's blood...

[Strongside]

This looks like the trash cans in the women's restrooms when I worked at Home Depot in college.

[Tribal Warfare]

There will be blood....

and tampons

Wow, a rare srvy post.

[Strongside]

Wow, a rare srvy post.

Averaging 3.3 a year. He's got two left. Interesting that he decided to burn one so early. It's a bold strategy, let's see if it pays off.

That's amazing, because right now it looks much more like a pale ale.

GTFO with your troll bullshit knowmo
