As 12s in Seattle had unusually warm January weather, Patriots fans were preparing for a massive snow storm and possible blizzard the Boston area.
The Boston-area blizzard was expected to bring "up to 24 hours of white-out conditions" with up to 3 feet of snow in some areas, Fox25 Meteorologist Sarah Wroblewski said.
Meanwhile in Seattle, the Emerald City was the same temperature as Miami -- 63 degrees -- at 4 p.m. Pacific time.
12s who lined the 1.1-mile route from the Seahawks’ practice facility in Renton to Sea-Tac International Airport had a rain-free Sunday morning on a day that had record-setting temperatures. The 63-degree high temperature at Sea-Tac shattered the previous high mark of 58 degrees.

The Patriots are scheduled to fly from Boston at 12:30 p.m. on Monday after a City Hall rally. Light snow was expected at mid-day, but not enough to stop the team's flight to Arizona. Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker said that incoming storm may make the roads "very hard, if not impossible, to navigate," according to MyFoxBoston.com. The expected storm also led to parking bans and restrictions in parts of Massachusetts.
