I think people are freaking out about nothing. It doesn’t usually snow that crazy in NY, BUT it’s definitely a great idea to have a back-up plan…just in case. Personally I’d love to see a snowy Super Bowl — Yes, Ill be watching from the comfort of my family’s home.
So what will happen if a crazy storm heads to NY/NJ next Sunday?! Well moving the day to Saturday or Monday isn’t out of the question. Hit the jump for details…

Super Bowl Saturday? If the idea of Super Bowl XLVIII being played a day earlier than Sunday, Feb. 2, or even the next evening, seems preposterous, it could happen if a massive snow storm is forecasted for northern New Jersey that weekend.
NFL officials on Wednesday conceded that contingency plans call for the championship game to be played at any point between Friday, Jan. 31 and Monday, Feb. 3 at MetLife Stadium.

“What goes into whether deciding to (move) it, first of all, is public safety,” Grubman said Wednesday in a news conference at MetLife Stadium, where thousands of workers removed snow from the bleachers and field. “Unless it was a state of emergency which affected public resources in a way that made it impossible to get the resources here, or any kind of declaration by any of the authorities from the states involved that made it difficult to travel safety to and from the stadium, we would absolutely respect that.”
The Super Bowl Sunday weather forecast, according to Accuweather.com, calls for a 30-percent chance of snow or rain, with a high temperature of 40 degrees and low of 25, and 6-to-12 mph winds.
