(From Sports Video.org --By Ken Kerschbaumer)
Setting up for any sporting event can be stressful enough but on Sunday morning staffers at FOX SPORTS and GAME CREEK VIDEO, which is supplying five production trucks for THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME between the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants will have another challenge -- gearing up in dangerously cold conditions.
With a current forecast for Sunday morning of -7 F at
8 am (and feeling like -27 F) safety of engineering staff and talent will be paramount.
That’s one reason KEVIN CALLAHAN,an engineer for GAME CREEK VIDEO made stops at five different TARGET stores to pick up electric blankets.
"We flew into Milwaukee and stopped at every target on the way," Callahan says. "We'll put one of the electric blankets on every one of the hard cameras to keep the cameras, lenses, and fluid heads warm."

Kevin Callahan, thanks for the post.
[Kevin assures me the cameras will be fine -- all tucked in with their electric blankets. Stay warm, Kev!]

The camera operators however, may have to part with a digit or two due to frostbite. Fortunately the cameras will be warm and cozy.
