We're still 32 minutes from kickoff here at Lambeau Field, but I thought I'd pass along a few more updates.
*The current temperature is minus-1. Provided a heat wave doesn't sweep across northeastern Wisconsin, this will be the second-coldest recorded game in Packers history. The coldest, of course, was the Ice Bowl in 1967. The temperature was minus-13 at kickoff with a minus 46 wind chill. The coldest game in NFL history was the 1981 AFC Championship Game, played Jan. 10, 1982, at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium. The temperature was minus-9, and the wind chill plunged to minus-59 as the Bengals beat San Diego 27-7.
*The stands are almost full, except for the club seating. Those people are probably waiting it out inside before venturing to their seats.
*I'm guessing you know this already, but the Patriots await the winner of this game in the Super Bowl. New England beat the Chargers, 21-12, earlier today.
