That being said, Bo's arm is a weapon, especially if windy, that other clubs don't have and if you have guys focussed on catching balls, things could go well in the passing game.
Depending on when/if the snow stops falling, footing could be the single biggest issue today for both teams.

Don't disagree, and players make the mistake of going to the sidelines and super heating their hands to warm them up in a hurry, and then going back out onto the field.
The biggest advantage in the cold is that the offensive players know where they're going and the defensive players don't so footing becomes trecherous, and it creates more breakdowns on covering routes.
Whenever I've coached in cold weather games or snowy games, in my first serious I'm taking at least one serious shot downfield.
