Hoping for a snowstorm of Karma.

Anyone know which officiating crew is doing our game today? I did read that Jeff Triplette is doing the Bengals/Chargers game today so at least we don't have Triplette.
Question is will Easy Ed go out on the field with bare arms?
Don't know about Ed but I did hear Jordy sY he was considering long sleeves for the first time ever. This was a couple of days ago tho when it was thought that this was Ice Bowl II.
Maybe the forecast for today's game time temp is in the perfect range. We hear 5 degrees and we think, "Oh, that's not so bad. I thought it was going to be cold." Think about that... we don't think 5 degrees is cold. So that might not be cold enough to have much impact on the Packers but there may be some 49ers who can't handle it. Sure, most might not have an issue with it but we just need a few weak links on the 49ers to allow for big plays by the Packers. Yeah, on paper this came doesn't look good for the Pack so they will have to rely on toughness, concentration, and energy, with a little bit of luck. And the cold and crowd are part of the homefield advantage. Hopefully the Packers make the most of it!
I never thought I'd say 25 seemed nice but I got to admit it felt pretty nice yesterday compared to what it's going to be today and tomorrow. The weather in the Upper Midwest so far this winter has not been very kind- December was very snowy and very cold compared to past years. However, it's like everything else in life- you get exposed to it and you learn to live with it. That's what the 49ers are going to have to deal with today and I hope like hell it does have an impact on them. This isn't the Giants from 2007 where those guys might be more used to those conditions. It's pretty damn nice in the Bay Area most of the year.
It would be tres satisfying to see SF stomped out by CAR this weekend but I'll be just fine if SEA does it the following week instead. I hate SEA just as much but I've come to terms with having to cheer them on to beat SF. Lesser of two dookies survives the flush.
