Sure hope it wasn't the Bronco-Raven crew. That game had no flow what so ever. I'm sure everyone loved the delays in 8 degree weather.

Officiating in single digit, or sub zero, conditions brings it's own set of challenges to game officials, as it does to players and coaches. Delays and necessary clarification are part of any contest, regardless of weather conditions, although extreme weather condistions certainly add their own qualities to a contest.

Usually game officials go with the flow of the game initiated by the participants, rather than create their own.
