With 30 players participating, they are able to hand-scoop all of the snow out of the way during the timeout.
The kicker drills the field goal because he has a clean area to kick.
Fair? Not fair? Legal?

Guessing that only the 11 guys participating in the play would be allowed to do this.
Happened in the Philly game, and the only guys that were clearing a spot were those on the field. I'm guessing if it were legal, more guys would have come off the sideline to help.
