Much of the Midwest was hit hard by a powerful winter storm Friday and Saturday, leaving as much as a foot of snow in some areas. Chicago was hit particularly hard with the second-heaviest snowfall on record in the month of November, according to the National Weather Service.
Temperatures for Sunday’s Broncos-Bears game as Soldier Field is expected to be in the mid-20’s. That’s cold, very cold. Take a look at some of the pics floating around social media of an icy Soldier Field.

It appears the Bears’ LaMarr Houston is impervious to the cold.

Fans were already asked to come early to the game because of increased security measures. Looks like they’re in for an icy reception.
