How many snow games has Clemson ever played in?

Only one I know of is the Humanitarian Bowl vs La Tech back in 2001.
Were there any from the old days?

The 2000 Clemson - SC game was cold and cloudy

We thought we were going to get snow during the game but it held off until about 30 minutes after. The next morning there was about 2" on the ground. Very pretty sight for enjoying the "push off" win.

No snow in the 79 Peach Bowl

Temp was around 38 degrees with a foggy, wet mist hanging in the air the entire day. I think it was the coldest I've ever been. It felt like you were sitting naked in a tub of ice and water.

actually snow. I remember how cold and damp it was and that the field was muddy. And the wind was bad.

By the time the game started I was soaking wet and nearly froze to death sitting through that miserable game.

That day in Fulton County Stadium is the coldest I've ever been at a football game. And that counts Wake Forest in 2016 and the 2015 ACCCG against UNCheat in Charlotte. The only thing that comes close was a Chicago Bears game I went to at Soldier Field... sleet and a strong wind off Lake Michigan.

Re: That Peach Bowl against Baylor was rough, some sleet I think

My wife (at that time future wife) and I Were there. Almost froze. We got caught in the traffic and were walking into game late when Clemson scored, so missed that RD. If remember correctly, we only scored two of them.
The second was very late in game after, after game was already settled. I almost never leave early, but we were freezing and since we were dating, decided to leave the cold and wind. Walking out, we heard our final score. So not only did we almost lose fingers and toes from the cold, didn't even see us score a T D.
Remember there was ice all in the stands, on seats and you were basically standing on ice entire game. Worse game ever been to.

1972 SCAR game had sleet & freezing rain ... no snow.

I don’t ever recall any significant amount of snow falling or snow on the ground for any Clemson game since I started following in 1958.

When I was a freshman in 1963 we were playing UGA at Clemson and a storm came up at halftime with heavy rain, wind and hail. Everyone retreated under the stands, but back then water leaked through the stands, so it was almost impossible to stay dry. Back then one could carry umbrellas to the game, but no umbrella survived the torrential wind and rain. When the storm blew over and the team came out onto the field after halftime, the ground was white with hail.
