Yahoo Sports – by Eric EdholmAs the NFL was clearing out of MetLife Stadium following another Super Bowl XLVIII, snow started to hit the region. We missed our first Snow Bowl by a matter of hours.
Of course, you could make the joke that the Seattle Seahawks‘ blizzard snowed under the Denver Broncos, but the real white stuff didn’t make its way to East Rutherford, N.J. until the early-morning hours of Monday, Feb. 3 — once nearly everyone cleared out of the stadium.

We can’t say definitely which team this would have favored, of course, but it’s hard to imagine that Peyton Manning and the Broncos would have done much better with a slower track out there. Perhaps they were spared further embarrassment anger.
The chances of a cold-weather, outdoor Super Bowl happening again elsewhere (and perhaps eventually back in New York/New Jersey) appear very high, even if commissioner Roger Goodell wouldn’t say definitively the chances of that.
But for as nice as the weather was for Sunday’s game, just know that creeping around the corner was a few inches of snow that could have changed the narrative.
I questioned this odd coincidence also. Back to back snow storms in this
area for weeks and then oddly enough great weather for this event but
the very next morning, snow. This couldn’t be better planned if God had
done this which he wouldn’t have for monkey games.
I thought the exact same thing! Yeah, the fix was in on it probably. Would not surprise me in the LEAST!
Kind of like some invisible shield holding the storms back.
With that much $ at stake, its not unreal to think it possible or probable. Hell, they’ve done a lot worse and a lot more obvious in the past
Maybe the H.A.A.R.P. operator had a big bet on the game.
good point Jolly
