The Cleveland Browns' losing streak was a hairy situation for lots of fans, but more for Scott Sabol than anyone else.

The FOX8 weatherman in Cleveland started growing a beard during the drought and vowed to not shave until the Browns won again.

He had a lot of time to think about his decision — and a lot of beard to think about, too.

The beard even began to get its own mail.

Then, on the eve of Christmas, something crazy happened. The Browns ... won.

Indeed. After 109 days, THE BEARD-ENING IS OVER.

Well, add one more day for good luck. He'll shave Monday morning live on FOX 8.
