I love how just a few days ago Bama fans were still in their fantasy land and thinking it would last for years, then it was ripped away with zero warning.

You know they are still in shock that Saban is no longer their coach, they havent had time to process it. I love how bama gave them zero time to "grieve" and jammed a new coach into them without lube.

No, but it is colder than the 10-9 Hawks Vikings game from a few years ago.
This is -30 wind chill
That game was -25
Ice Bowl was -43

According to the National Weather Service, "The kickoff temperature in Green Bay [for the Ice Bowl] was -13°F, with a wind chill of 36 below zero. Temperatures were so cold, in fact, that referees had to shout signals so that the metal whistles wouldn't stick to their lips. Even so, nearly 51,000 fans watched the coldest game in league annals. Several players were treated for frostbite and a fan in the stands died of exposure to the cold" (December 31, 1967: Weather During the Icebowl).

For the purposes of comparison, we live in Billings, Montana. Our current temperature, according to weather.com, is -17, with an overnight low projected to be -27. The "feels like" temperature here is -35 right now. Current temperatures for recording stations in northern Montana, along the "Hi-Line," which parallels the Canadian border, are as follows: East Glacier Park, -33; Babb, which is near the Many Glacier entrance to the park, -33; Shelby, -32; Browning, -35; and Cut Bank, -32. These points are east of the Continental Divide and exposed to more wind, so their wind chill readings may well approach -50 or a bit colder.

I contacted the local Weather Service Facebook and inquired about the coldest overnight lows, i.e. air temperature values rather than wind chills, recorded for this morning in Montana. Their response was "Looks like -41 F at the Spotted Bear Lookout RAWS in NW Montana. Closer to southern MT, a -38 F at the Judith Peak RAWS near Lewistown. There may be cooperative observers who have been colder, but we won't know until later this evening. [East Glacier reported] -40."

For additional historical context, "on the morning of Jan. 20, 1954, the Montana and continental 48 states’ record cold temperature of minus 70 degrees was observed at a mining camp near the Continental Divide a short distance from Rogers Pass near Helena" (That Time Montana Hit 70 Below ... And Maybe Colder).

Additionally, "Montana holds (perhaps) the world record for the sharpest drop in temperature as well as the sharpest increase. Browning, MT, saw its temperature drop 100°F, from 44°F to -56°F, in less than 24 hours as a result of a cold front passage on January 23-24, 1916" (Extreme Short-Duration Temperature Changes in the U.S.).

Even in Montana, these weather phenomena are rare. but they occur just often enough to give Montana its reputation for legendary winter weather.
