I was thinking of starting a defence due to the forecasted weather for tomorrow.

Was thinking of the snow and lots of fumbles and interceptions.

Does snow favour RB's, receivers or defences or generally have a negative effect on them??

I don't want this to be a WDIS...but rather a broader view of the implications.

I would love to see one of the number crunching guys on FBG staff look at this. My impressions is that it should favor running backs because in bad weather it would be hard for defenders to keep their footing and to react to cuts by the running back--the runner knows where he is going but the defender doesn't. It seems like it would be hard to catch and throw a ball when the weather is cold, windy, and the ball is wet. But I can imagine that a WR might juke a CB and the CB fall down and the WR be open for an easy long TD. I would like to see the numbers though.
