A photographic look at some bad weather football games around the country.

Rain, hail, sleet and snow. Don't forget fog and mud.

All types of inclement weather can make your day worse but they also make football a whole lot more interesting.

Our MaxPreps professional photographers have been out in the cold at high school football games around the country all season long, encountering all sorts of wild weather.

Take a look at some of the conditions high school teams, fans and photographers face during the playoffs.
