The Buffalo Bills may have beaten the Chicago Bears 35-13 on Christmas Eve, but it looked like they were likely to run into polar bears on their return home.
The NFL continued through the festive period despite the freezing conditions, resulting in some incredible scenes across America.
An unprecedented amount of snow greeted the Bills stars as they returned to pick up their cars in New York.
In fact, according to the National Weather Service, there was a record daily snowfall of 22.3 inches on Friday, Dec. 23, forcing them to dig their cars out of their parking lots.
And Bills safety Dumar Hamlin couldn't help but walk through the scenarios he and his teammates were greeted with on their return.
One player was seen driving away with a huge pile of snow on top of the car, while others were still digging to get into their car.
Hamlin's defensive colleague Dane Jackson was shown squeezing the half-open driver's door after he was seen trying to free the car with a shovel in hand.
All the while Hamlin laughed and added:
He then showed how dangerous the driving conditions were when he shot another clip where the road was barely visible in front of the car.
A cold snap brought America to a standstill, wreaked havoc on Christmas for families, and left 37 people dead in extreme conditions.
