This must be "dry snow" with relative humidity of 50%-ish.

I just love watching football (American) games in the snow. The broncos/patriots game this past weekend was incredible to watch AND had the desired outcome

I think I just found the full game on Youtube.

Great memories.

The 1982 Yanks opener on either April 7 or April 8 was cancelled by about 8"-10" of snow.

How about weather affecting an indoor sport? In 2008 the SEC basketball tournament was interrupted by a tornado.

Wanna know which one? Cycling is one of the most affected sports. Usually, they start riding in continental Europe in February, period in which snowfall are still common. Snowfall or subzero temps make it risky to ride descents but even flat which forces the organizers to cancel stages or whole races. It doesn't help that they have to race over high mountain passes in certain races

Racing on Gavia Pass in the Giro d'Italia 1988. American Andy Hampsten won. It was late May but this pic was shot on top of the climb at 2642 meters where a snowstorm hit the race



Another not as extreme example. The Tre Cime di Laveredo Stage of the Giro 2013:

Wind can impact racing as well. This is an extreme example:

It's tennis. Not sure how all the dummies can vote for golf, you can golf in the rain, cold, wind,extreme heat. Tennis, not so much.

What's extreme heat? Pretty sure tennis was played in 40 C in the last few Aus opens.

Where, play stops if it rains in cricket.

It's cricket. You can't play if it's raining, and the temperature, humidity, wind direction, soil moisture all play a part in the tactics of the game.
