  1. We have a neighbor who is constantly snowblowing the older people out in the neighborhood once he does his own driveway. Noticed he had not come out yet this morning, 4 of us neighbors who were all out snowblowing at the same time came together and all went and snowblowed him out for once... He came out as we were doing it and we all yelled "Merry Xmas!". He almost started crying... This isn't to shine a light on what we did, this is to shine a light on people like him. Squirrel Winters is now famous in this area for what he did for Allen but every neighborhood has a Squirrel Winters and the reason why it resonated so much for people in WNY is because everyone can relate to him since they all know someone just like him in their neighborhood. Outsiders wonder why so many people are drawn to WNY and the community we have and it's because the things that are viewed as extraordinary in other places are routine here. Not to say there aren't problem here, there are. But one thing you'll almost never hear about on the news here is someone found dead in their house that has been there for several days or a week or more and neighbors had no idea...here the neighbors would be banging on the door after a day or two of not seeing them or seeing mail in the mailbox untouched. We look after our own and that's missing almost completely in every other place I've lived.
  2. Buffalo experienced 50 consecutive readings at the Buffalo airport of a blizzard during this storm, an unprecedented 34.25 hours straight, by far the longest consecutive streak in Buffalo Weather History.
  3. You will see Dolphin fans in parkas most likely.
  4. There is no way anyone flies from Rochester to Buffalo. C'mon man. Tim Graham...is that you??
  5. He was signed to the PS on the 8 year anniversary of Snowvember!
  6. No, it's the way weather records have been kept since 1878 here.
  7. The record was literally for that day, ie Dec 23rd. There has never been more than 22.3" measured on December 23rd. There have been 7 times where we received more than 20" of snow in a day. Two of them have been this year and 3 were from 2001.
  8. We literally set a rainfall record and a snowfall record on the same day on the 23rd. Not sure what you are referring to.
  9. Oh...yeah that is right. Forgot we have no chance of having to play a higher seed in that situation.
  10. Singletary is in some pretty good company since he has been drafted...
  11. Hodgins is a nice story but he is basically Robert Foster for the Bills when they had nobody else and he played by default. Not sure what Kenny Golladsy did to piss off 2 coaching staffs but he can't get on the field.
  12. As long as we win and then take care of the Pats in Week 17. You may think that's a foregone conclusion but the Pats would probably like nothing more than to keep us from the 1 seed and will likely be playing hard. I just don't think it will matter.
  13. As long as we have Josh Allen I don't think much will change.
  14. You may be right, I can't find that info. He is at an all-time high for snap percentage on D, but not hugely higher than his other years..38% versus 37% last year and 31% this year. In terms of raw numbers he has about 17 more snaps already than he did last year, but it's a pretty close comparison. Only had 1.5 sacks last year with the 0.5 coming in the Jags game and the sack in the final game against the Jets. Definitely been more impactful this year, although he had a ton of near misses if I remember last year and he terrorized Tua in the first Dolphin game and ended up knocking him with with a Milano Jr. type hit.
  15. Merry Xmas everyone! Hopefully the Bills deliver us a late Xmas present in February!
  16. 43 inches officially at the airport as of 7am this morning... Puts us a little under 93" for the year. Should get enough to break the Oct-Nov-Dec snowfall record by tomorrow night. UPDATE: apparently we got a few inches from somewhere else and now have 95.0" for the year. 89.9" as of midnight(37.9" storm total at that point) and got an addition 5.1" after that.
  17. Looked like more of the same on the first drive as Chicago went 64 yards in 8 plays to take the lead on their opening drive. After that, the Bills D allowed 145 yards on 51 plays, or 2.8 yards per play. And that included a 44 yard pass into double coverage that should have been picked off... Bills D played lights out after the first drive.
  18. We also lead the NFL in point differential on the season at +157 by 12 points over the 49ers.
  19. Josh in PrimeTime is not Clark Kent. He is Superman. There wasn't any immediate need to run into a phone booth to change today.
  20. Currently watching The Day After Tomorrow...seems pretty appropriate after the last 48 hours.
  21. Allen said on his segment on Kyle Brandt's Basement that when he makes a big play he becomes "Himbo". He was "Himbo" on that TD run... pretty sure Kyle will bring this up when they talk Tuesday (or maybe Wed cause they are on Monday night)
  22. McD didn't seem too happy with him when he lined up in the Neutral Zone... But yeah...he played very well other than that.
  23. Not quite accurate...both Motor and Cook ran for 80+ yards against the Pats.
