Diehard fans have braved freezing temperatures and a wind chill of -26C (-14F) to watch an NFL playoff match in Wisconsin.
The Green Bay Packers took on the San Francisco 49ers at their home field on Sunday night, in one of the coldest American football matches ever played.
Fans swaddled themselves in multiple layers of thick clothing and covered themselves with blankets for the tie, which lasted around three hours. Despite not being accustomed to the inclement weather, they won 23-20, putting them one step closer to February’s Super Bowl.
Weather Bell meteorologist Ryan Maue described the current weather conditions as a once-in-a-generation event.
"If you're under 40 (years old), you've not seen this stuff before," he said.
This is quite unbelievable. Would you do the same for your team? :)
