Snowy football games

I can't really recall any with noticeable snowfall. There were some flurries at a Bama game in the mid 90's, but nothing significant.

Seems there was a Kentucky game in Lexington not too long ago that had some light snow, but I could be wrong.

I don't think that UGA has played in the snow in my lifetime. Are there any other noteable snowy SEC games that have happened?

Not notable...but I've been to games at Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington in late November where the bleachers were covered in ice. I think it was 1979...saw a woman slip and go down 15-20 rows sliding on her arse before she finally stopped.

I believe there was a sizable snowfall just before the '64 Sugar Bowl between Bama & Ole Miss. Game was a defensive struggle, somehow we managed to convert 4 FGs and win. Wish we sill had that kicker, Davis

Came here to write about this game. My dad was there as a young boy and he said they saw Davis walking in the Quarter after the game with two very large breasted women under each arm. He also says that some sportswriter wrote before the game that there was a better chance of snow in New Orleans than Bama winning that game. Well, both happened.

Yeah, the Iron Bowl back just before Saban wasn’t in the snow but it was cold and sleeting during that shitshow in Tuscaloosa.

Coldest game I ever attended in person was during the magical 1992 season under Stallings. Played State in StarkVegas in November and it was the night game on ESPN. It was colder than a witch’s titty and as State was opening a can of whoop arse during the first half and the cowbells were clanging. That didn’t help it feel any warmer. Then Bama came roaring back in the second half and the cowbells stopped. It was even colder but I didn’t notice it near as much as the Tide kept their title drive alive.

LSU Notre Dame in 1997, also in the Independence Bowl but nowhere near the now of that State/A&M game. It also flurried outside the Super Dome during the LSU/Illinois Sugar Bowl in 2001 if that counts. I know I've been to a Liberty Bowl where it snowed years back but not sure if an SEC was invovled. Thing with snow games is it doesn't get that cold in the South before the regular season finishes anywhere but maybe Lexington and I guess Columbia now with Missouri being here

pretty sure there was snow on the ground at the '64 Ole Miss/Ala Sugar Bowl but I think it snowed prior to the game, it was on the sidelines.

2 coldest I remember:
'92 SEC Championship game was freezing/rain

'97 Ala @ MSU. Freezing/huge winds. State wins 17-16. The 2 guys that parachuted into the stadium almost died on the field before the game, not a graceful landing to say the least.

I didn't walk into the stadium for the 2000 Iron Bowl, gave my tickets to a young couple trying to buy. Between the shitty weather and our shitty team, I passed and went to a bar and got trashed. Solid call!

LSU vs Arkansas - 1947 Cotton Bowl aka the Ice Bowl (the game ended in a 0-0 tie.)

Otis Mounds Saved Auburn's 1993 Perfect Season in a snowy Fayetteville

It was so cold, nobody cared who won that 1993 game in Fayetteville. Thanks to the Arkansas homecoming queen for the assist. Great story if you like obscure SEC history.

As a child in the late 50s and 60s, I liked nothing better than bad weather football games, mostly NFL. Domed stadiums and climate change all but eliminated those spectacles.
