Leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos, the biggest topic of concern was how the weather would be when the two teams were set to kick off at MetLife Stadium.

After an initial weather report that was a bit troublesome, everything cleared out just in time for the big game on Sunday afternoon.

In fact, not only is Super Bowl XLVIII not going to feature the dreaded snowstorm that many believed they would be having, but it will not even end up being the coldest Super Bowl in the history of the league.

Temperatures at kickoff are expected to be in the mid-to-low 40s, which would keep Super Bowl VI between the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins as the coldest Super Bowl in league history at 39 degrees.
