This year, the Super Bowl will be taking place on Jersey soil on Sunday,
February 2nd. For some of us, this day is bigger than Christmas –
especially for those who live close enough to attend. It's a lot of fun to
bundle up, pack a cooler, and root for your favorite team, but if the recent
blizzard that hit NJ is any indication of what the weather will be like, you're
going to want to dress and drive wisely. Make it a fun and warm-as-possible
Super Bowl Sunday by making sure you're prepared!
The
Right Ride
New Jersey's weather is unpredictable as you're probably aware. Just last
week, the forecast had a high of 54 degrees one day and 14 degrees two days
later. Better safe than sorry, we always say. While the players will be
worrying about staying warm on the field, you should be making sure that you'll
be able to get to the stadium safely and effectively find a parking spot, even
if they're calling for snow. Take your family's most cold-friendly vehicle,
whether it's a Rocky Ridge
Truck or an all-wheel drive SUV. You never know when you're going to have to
park on a mound of snow!
Layers!
It's always better to be too warm than it is to be too cold, and no one
wants to get frostbite, so make sure you layer up. The best things to invest in
for the Super Bowl are:
·
Wool socks – they stay warmer and drier than cotton.
·
Warm hats and scarves – if it's windy, your ears
could get frostbitten and your face windburnt by the end of the game. Express
your fandom by getting a hat printed with your team's logo on it!
·
Heat-tech clothing – wear a bottom layer like Under
Armor or thermal underwear to prevent the wind from penetrating your clothes.
·
Waterproof outer layer – if it rains or snows, the
last thing you want is to be standing around for the entirety of the game in
wet clothing.
Overnight
Necessities
NYC seems to
have big plans for the day and night of the Super Bowl, such as
nightlife events and Super Bowl Boulevard. If you think you're going to feel
like celebrating after the big game, pack an overnight bag with a change of
clothes, your phone charger, and a few extra bucks – you never know if you
might want to get a hotel after the game or crash with a friend.
