Just reading the tea leaves on the NWS Buffalo forecast this weekend.

 

Temps in the teens + 70 mph wind gusts + a foot of snow = disaster.

 

Be prepared.

 

 

 

 

Where exactly are you seeing 70 mph winds???   * Edit I see the post above.  Ugh

I think we definitely see Phillips return this week considering Bryant was released to make room for Ike

Geez. Is the buffalo airport even going to be open Friday?

They should be practicing in a wind tunnel

McD is walking around practice in a "I wish it were windier" t-shirt

 

oh wait no hes not, because hes not a douche

I'm more worried about Soldier Field. It's almost as bad as Ford Field as far as injuries are concerned. Hopefully everyone comes out of the game healthy. I'd probably sit Phillips and save him for Cincy. Let Basham play the interior

Or they could just play as scheduled

 

I'm not Jerry Sullivan

He's just lobbying to move the game that's all

it was a just guess since they lobbied so hard last time 

 

oh, so you are just being a douche and butt hurt about having a to move a game that was impossible to play in Orchard Park? Got it...moving along...

I've seen you say this multiple times, and I'm curious, what knowledge or evidence do you have of them "lobbying so hard" to move the game? 

[NickelCity]

Would be amazing if Hyde came back for the playoffs. Pleeeeease let it be. Also Crowder would be a nice addition if he's in playing shape.

Early models showing between 10-20 inches in the Chicago area snow wise.

 

Thank you for clarifying.

“Impossible” that’s a good one

I’ll just drop it. You can be happy with the explanation that it was “impossible” to play a football game in Orchard Park, NY where they’ve been playing football games for over 50 years

 

How many times did they get 6-7 feet of snow?  Want to know the answer? Twice.  In 2014 and 2022.  Guess what happened both times?  The game got moved.  Get a clue.

 

Funnily enough coming from someone in Amherst where they don't get lake snow very often and usually escape with a few inches while many places get a few feet. How rich...got opinions on how to deal with it when he never has to deal with it.

Maybe a bus trip to Rochester, then out.

This is not a Lake Effect snowstorm initially, this is a widescale synoptic snowstorm affecting a huge part of the country.  Conditions in Rochester won't be any better. We do actually get large scale systems that bring heavy snow, not just lake storms ya know. We would probably need to drive a lot farther than would make sense to try and outrun it.

 

The lake snows don't kick in until later Friday night and into Saturday and initially guidance has them effecting the Northtowns first(230-240 degrees) before dropping into the Buffalo metro area Saturday.
