If I was Bruno Mars’ stylist, and I was dressing him for his Super Bowl XLVIII Half-time appearance, I’d make sure he wears a warm coat, hat, gloves, boots and maybe a scarf for good measure. This will be the first Super Bowl played out of doors in a winter climate. Super Bowl 28 played in 1992 at the Metro Dome in Minneapolis doesn’t count, it was indoors, this one is out in the elements.
After researching a few sites that predict future weather, I’ve come to the conclusion that anyone attending what is sure to be the Super Snow Bowl should also dress for the worst winter weather possible. This may be the year to watch the Super Bowl at home in front of your big screen with central heat, friends and family, and snacks that won’t freeze the moment you leave the concession stand. Added bonus, you won’t have to shovel out your seat if you watch the game in your Barcalounger.
So what do the experts say? http://tinyurl.com/prg66eq Live Weather Blogs gives the most optimistic forecast – high 38, low 24, clear skies, not Miami, but not life endangering. Weather 2000 http://www.weather2000.com/super_bowl.html says to expect highs in the 30’s at game time and gives us odds including a 47% chance of precipitation, and 17% chance that there will already be snow covering the ground.
The worst forecast comes from a source with the best reputation for accuracy. The Farmer’s Almanac http://www.farmersalmanac.com/weather/2013/08/25/2014-us-winter-forecast/ predicts snow and maybe even a big blizzard event on or before the Super Bowl.
So if you know Bruno Mars or anyone attending Super Bowl 48 please ask them to dress warm! If you know the idiots on the Super Bowl selection committee, they should be forced to attend in shorts, flip-flops and football jerseys since they picked this idiotic location. That would be worth seeing, and warm clothing is WorthHaving.
