    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>DETROIT (AP) - Forecasts call for 4 to 9 inches of snow to fall on Detroit before the Super Bowl on Sunday.The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning on Saturday. About 250 snowplows and hundreds of shovel-toting volunteers were on standby to ensure that football fans can get to the Pittsburgh-Seattle game at Ford Field."We're not worried," said Ron Brundidge, head of the city department of public works street maintenance division. "One thing that puts us at ease is the fact that we've been planning for this for so long."The NFL, Super Bowl Host Committee and city crews have been preparing for a possible Super Bowl snowstorm for more than a year. Detroit residents have basked in unseasonably warm weather the past few days, with temperatures in the 40s.The National Weather Service said a mixture of rain and snow would turn to snow. Forecasters expect wind up to 29 miles per hour, with the snow ending about midday Sunday. The game starts at 6:30 p.m. EST.Brundidge said crews planned to salt major roads before the snow sticks. After it accumulates, they will plow and salt roads. The crews will concentrate on roads leading to downtown and the downtown area.</div>http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5307120

[​IMG]</div>Steelers fans won't. They'll be up partying until 3 a.m. and then pass out drunk in the parking lot until Monday..therefore no Steelers fans will even drive a car.I dunno what the Hawks fans will do though.
