Snowstorm proves to be no match for sports fans (VIDEO)

Winter Storm Jonas blanketed the East Coast on Saturday and threatened to put a damper on all the day’s activities. Fortunately, there were many people that decided they weren’t going to let that happen and decided to embrace the elements. From football games with the police to snow swimming, here are some of the very best instances of sports fans making the most out of a blizzard.
