There are only one or 2 freezing precipitation events per year so the chances of it happening on bowl day are very small...maybe a 1-2 percent chance or less. I have lived in North Texas before and have spent 20 years studying Texas weather patterns and most bowl games you'll be looking at a range of 48 or 50 on the low side to the 70s on a mild day. Being in the 30s in the middle of the day would be rare. Not unheard of but rare.

Yep, the weather is a crapshoot, especially in north Texas. Chance of ice or snow, chance of beautiful weather. I can remember one Cotton Bowl played in a sleet storm, and another one played on an icy field. On the other hand, there were plenty where weather wasn't an issue at all. You just go on with the game. Lots of bowls are played in less than ideal conditions.
