Wind chill has Cleveland’s Saints-Browns game feeling colder than ‘polar weather conditions’
Sheesh. The New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns are doing their best to warm up at FirstEnergy Stadium under heavy wind and snow, and yeah, it’s cold. It’s actually so cold with the wind chill, ESPN Stats and Info reports, that the on-field temperature at kickoff (a projected negative-21 degrees Fahrenheit) could be colder than the current temperature at the South Pole (negative-15 degrees).
Yikes. See the conditions for yourself from those on the ground in Cleveland:
The Browns host the Saints today in polar weather conditions.
With wind chill, it's projected to feel like -21°F at kickoff. The current temperature at the South Pole is -15°F. pic.twitter.com/IdZOTHImo8
