With Christmas approaching and the NFL Playoffs just around the corner, winter has officially arrived, bringing snow and frigid temperatures to many stadiums across the country.

One venue notorious for its snowy conditions is Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The 10-4 Packers, who are looking to clinch a postseason spot, will host the New Orleans Saints on "Monday Night Football."

According to CBS 58 News meteorologist Sam Kuffel, snow is once again in the forecast, with light flurries expected to carry over into kickoff, setting the stage for a true winter spectacle in the frozen tundra.

Give yourself extra time to drive to Green Bay tomorrow if you're going to the Packer game. A couple inches of snow will fall during the day, making travel slower.

While the snow and cold temperatures may not pose much of a challenge for the Packers, who are accustomed to playing in these conditions, it could be a different story for the Saints.

Having played in a dome all season, the New Orleans Saints are not accustomed to the cold, with temperatures expected to hover around a brisk 29°F at game time. While the snowfall is one challenge, the frigid temperatures themselves will be another hurdle for the Saints as they attempt to adjust to Lambeau’s harsh winter conditions.

Saints starting quarterback Spencer Rattler revealed earlier this week that the coaching staff has been preparing for the cold weather. Quarterback coach Andrew Janocko took Rattler and the other quarterbacks into the team’s walk-in freezer on Saturday to simulate the chilly conditions and run through plays.

If snow does come into play, it will only add to the challenge as the Saints try to pull off the upset in Green Bay on Monday night.
