The Facts:

As explained by Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Packers practiceed outside on Thursday in preparation for Sunday’s possible Ice Bowl II, this time against the 49ers.

That will be cold in Green Bay -- in January -- comes as no surprise. “The cold is a part of winter in Green Bay," Aaron Rodgers said. "You get kind of used to it. You deal with it. You learn how to throw the ball effectively and you figure out what are the most important things to keep warm, and that’s your head and your hands. As long as you have a good hand warmer and some sort of heat around your head, you should be OK. ...” As PFT suggests, today's conditions won’t completely simulate Sunday’s, with an expected high temperature of 11 degrees. But that’ll be a far better approximation than the 49ers will experience as they prepare in California, with a mercury reading in the 60s.
