I aspire to be these fans: Some fans make their way to Lambeau Field before an NFL football game between the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions Sunday in Green Bay, Wis. JEFFREY PHELPS/AP Photo
With all of the talk of snow in Oklahoma lately (
read my earlier forecast report here), I thought I would share a few snow photos from last night's NFL game: The Detroit Lions at the Green Bay Packers.
Full disclosure: I am a lifelong Packer fan who grew up in rural northeast Wisconsin. I own and wear a cheesehead (it escapes the closet on Halloween). I cheered when the snowfall caused the football to slip out of Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford's hands and a Packers player ran it back for a touchdown.
And now that I got any appearance of unbiased media person out of the way, some weather background so that this isn't just a fan-type entry:
According to the National Weather Service, Green Bay got 3.7 inches of snow on Sunday.
Temperatures on Sunday in Green Bay are actually similar to what we got today: High of 34, low of 26. As I write this around 4:30 p.m. Monday, Tulsa's reached a high of 36 degrees today, but was about 22 degrees this morning.
And now, your snow photos:
