The Cold Line
What Weather Rating means in sports betting — explained in plain English.
The Cold Line's 0-5 scale (supporting half-values like 2.5) indicating how much weather is expected to impact a game. 0 = no impact, 5 = severe. Displayed as filled ice cubes.
Our quick weather score using ice cubes. More ice cubes filled = worse weather = bigger impact on the game.
Weather Rating 4 (four ice cubes) means expect significant wind and/or precipitation.
