The Green Bay Packers are preparing to host what could be the coldest game in National Football League history, eclipsing their own record that was set during the 1967 game known as the Ice Bowl.

The coldest air in 18 years might arrive in Wisconsin before tomorrow’s first-round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers at Lambeau Field, according to Cameron Moreland, chief meteorologist at TV channel NBC 26 in Green Bay. The forecast was a factor in slow ticket sales, according to resellers.
