According to AccuWeather as of now they are calling for 55 mph winds and snow possibly measured in feet for the game. That's not just bad weather....that is extremely dangerous deadly weather. Heavy snow and 50+ mph wind =complete whiteout, can't see your hands in front of your face. If that forecast is accurate I don't see how they can even play the game in those conditions.
80,000 people on the roads to and from the game...some people are likely to die .
Before you say I don't know about snow....
I grew up in S Buffalo and was 15 during the Blizzard 77. We went out in the whiteout and you literally could not see a thing. You would walk right into a tree or parked car before ever seeing it. When it finally cleared I went out the 2nd floor window with a shovel to dig out the front door. I also lived in a cave at 8000' ft in Park City for 2 ski seasons in the late 80s. The cave was just above town near the ski run, I'd wake up and ski down to the town lift on Main St. The rent was $0๐
I've been in many whiteout conditions...you cant even see where you are going and you definitely can't drive.
This sucks....I hope they are wrong
There is a chance that the heaviest bands miss Orchard Park but currently not looking that way
