Been raining all day with sleet and snow earlier that stopped around 9 AM. Its fucking freezing and pretty windy. Had a football game earlier and froze my dick off ball is going to be wet and tough to catch.
Currently rain is coming down steady supposed to pick up as the day progresses.

Actually, to the contrary, Favre holds a huge advantage when the weather gets ultra cold or if the conditions are cold and wet. Most people's thoughts on that subject are clouded by his last performance vs. the Giants in the NFC Conference Championship last season. And yes, he did look cold and miserable in that game and threw a costly pick to end the game.
But over the years he always outperformed his competition in the cold and wet conditions. They used to keep a Favre stat with his record when the temp was below 35 degrees or something like that and it was something insane like 18~2 (I'd have to look it up). Being in Green Bay his entire career he not only had to get used to the cold, but had to actually embrace the idea of acting immune to it while your opponents shivered and complained. Physically, Favre has extremely large hands and has always been able to maintain control better than others in the same conditions.
That's not to say that his NYJ receivers know how to catch the ball in the cold, and that there won't be drops. But Favre will be fine unless he takes needless chances forcing things into coverage.
Thanks BetAll and Met.
Last question.....any idea on current and forecasted mph for wind conditions? IMO that's the biggest facor in points and passing (more so than cold or snow or even light rain).
From the sounds of it, it may be a good day to let NYJ's lines dominate and run the air out of the ball. But if the wind is below 15 mph, then passing is still part of the game plan.
