Here are 10 moments when the weather was crappy, but Wisconsin teams made us happy (because they won)

Pretty much everyone is bracing for one of the worst weather weeks in Wisconsin history this week, with excruciating cold temperatures to follow Monday's snow storm.

It's probably best to snuggle up with a blanket on your couch and just watch sports. For the next 92 hours.

It's not uncommon for bad weather and sports to intersect -- the show must go on, after all. Here are 10 notable occasions when bad weather couldn't keep the good guys from prevailing. What else would you add to the list?

The Ice Bowl

You knew this would be on the list, so let’s get it out of the way quickly.

Temperatures were somewhere in the 140-190 below zero range if you ask any of the 250,000 people who said they were in attendance (it was really more like 36 to 38 below zero with wind chill). On the final day of 1967 in the NFL Championship Game, Bart Starr’s sneak into the end zone became iconic, and the Packers defeated the Cowboys, 21-17, to advance to Super Bowl II. Which the Packers won, of course.

Melvin Gordon goes for 408

If it wasn’t impressive enough that Melvin Gordon rushed for an NCAA Division I single-game record number of yards against a favored Nebraska team at Camp Randall Stadium in 2015, he had to do it in unpleasant conditions. The coldest Badgers game at Camp Randall since 1964 (it was 26 degrees, which seems comfy by comparison today) also featured falling snow.

No matter. Gordon rushed for 408 yards and cemented his legacy as one of the greatest to ever tote the rock at the University of Wisconsin.

Gordon played only three quarters and carried the ball 25 times in the 59-24 win, with four touchdowns. By comparison, LaDanian Tomlinson had carried the ball 43 times to rack up 406 yards in 1999.

Beating the Seahawks in the snow

One week before the 2007 NFC Championship Game was played in arctic cold at Lambeau Field (and ended in overtime heartbreak), the Packers were able to beat Seattle in the divisional round as a snowstorm covered the field. Even as the game became hard to watch on TV, the Packers kept piling up points to set a franchise playoff record and smothered the Seahawks, 42-20. If only the Packers playoff success against Seattle had continued…

Going to the Super Bowl

The temperature was just 3 degrees and 16 below according to wind chill, but Packers fans were feeling the warmth when Green Bay defeated Carolina in the NFC Championship game after the 1996 season, 30-13, earning a trip to Super Bowl XXXI. Back at the Super Bowl for the first time since the Ice Bowl got them there, the Packers went on to beat the New England Patriots.

The Lambeau Leap game

On Dec. 26, 1993, the Packers played in zero-degree temperatures and faced a negative-20 wind chill in dismantling the Los Angeles Raiders, 28-0. It was a crucial ninth win in the final stages of the 1993 season (and was a precursor to the team’s back-to-back games in Detroit, including a thrilling playoff win).

But years later, the game would be remembered for something very specific. Reggie White recovered a fumble along the sideline and shoveled a backward flip to LeRoy Butler before getting twisted out of bounds. Butler trotted into the end zone and rode the momentum all the way into the end-zone stands. The Lambeau Leap was born.

Jerry World under the ice

Packers fans surely had no problem enjoying Super Bowl XLV from the comfort of their Wisconsin couches, but those on hand in Dallas had some arduous experiences. An ice storm followed by heavy snowfall the Thursday and Friday before the game caused havoc in the area, including injuries as slats of ice fell off Cowboys Stadium. The game was indoors, so it won't itself be remembered for inclement weather, and we’ll all remember the events of the 31-25 Packers win.

The Fukudome home run

This isn’t exactly the most charming of Brewers memories, but it did end in an important victory. Ben Sheets was on point, and the Brewers scored three times in the ninth to take a 3-0 lead at cold and rain-soaked Wrigley Field in the 2008 season opener.

That lead lasted three batters when new closer Eric Gagne quickly folded, allowing a 3-run homer to Cubs newcomer Kosuke Fukudome to set Chicago ablaze. But Craig Counsell doubled leading off the top of the 10th against Bob Howry and came around to score on a Tony Gwynn Jr. sacrifice fly. In the midst of a frustrating moment, a win was salvaged, and when the Brewers won the wild card with 90 wins that season and returned to the playoffs for the first time in 26 years, every win counted.

A season-opening rally in the freeze

The Brewers mashed out 13 hits and defeated Oakland, 11-7, to start the year at 3-0, but it wasn’t necessarily a pleasant experience as wind chills flirted with zero degrees (starting the game at 16 degrees). Oakland took a 5-0 lead after the first inning before the Brewers bounced back in the frigid cold. A five-run sixth inning helped Milwaukee take the lead for good.

Badgers in the blizzard

In a battle of strong Big Ten foes on Feb. 1, 2011, 19th-ranked Wisconsin toppled the 11-ranked Purdue Boilermakers, 66-59, punctuated by a Ryan Evans breakaway dunk. Outside the Kohl Center, a blizzard raged that dumped more than 8 inches on Madison. By Wednesday, more than 18 inches had fallen over three days, the second most over a three-day stretch on record in the area.

An eerily quiet Meadowlands

Brook Lopez played for the other team when the Bucks competed in the Meadowlands in February of 2010, a 97-77 win for Milwaukee over a Brooklyn Nets team that fell to a staggering 4-48 after the setback. The actual attendance for the game: 1,016, with New Jersey getting crushed by a snowstorm outside. Andrew Bogut had 22 points and nine rebounds in what became a season remembered as the “Fear The Deer” run to the first-round of the playoffs and a narrow 4-3 series loss to Atlanta.
