Wow! Playing in that might be worse than the Colts game from a few years back?

Oh yeah.

I just got done talking to hammer. He said the lot at 4:30 was just dusted. By 5:00 it was complete s*** show. He's sending me the pictures in a few minutes

That about sums it up.  It was like a switch flipped.

A dome downtown is probably going to cost a half a billion dollars more after all infrastructure costs

 

We have people complaining about how much money our stadium cost now.. throw an extra 500 million dollars and there will be more outrage

 

Let alone all the stadium studies showed the economic impact of a dome stadium versus a open-air is nothing 

 

And a dome wouldn't have this game being played tomorrow either

The last sentence is the point.  The game didn’t get postponed for football reasons.  It was postponed for public safety reasons.  It’s a friggin frozen hurricane in OP right now.  We don’t play NFL football in hurricanes.  This storm should be seen no differently.

Just got back from the first snowblower pass. 

 

A solid 8 inches of snow fell. But the winds! No chance of pointing the snow shoot in the direction of the wind. Solid 40 mph plus wind gusts out there. (As mentioned, I'm about 3 miles east of Highmark Stadium)

I’m not going to bother until tomorrow.  Too windy.  And more overnight.

By far...that game wasn't as windy

Get ready for another multi-foot event Tuesday night thru Thursday

Last year, when we lived in our duplex, I made it a point to snowblow just so our upstairs neighbors had clear access just in case. They had to go to Urgent Care right during the middle of the first storm. So doing it while it's snowing and blowing makes for an easy final pass once all is said and done.

Normally I would but the wind is absurd.  I was out and about I earlier and I’m going to get to work on it tomorrow.

Still snowing from dunkirk to Hamburg. Plenty of cars on the roads, they actually look really f'n good. 90 is as clean as you'd ever imagine it.

I have been watching the turnpike cams on 90. It's not too bad. The entire band went south of buffalo. Reached OP and Hamburg, but all the way to Dunkirk. Originally expected a few more miles north.

What are the chances the game gets postponed again?

 

0%  it does not look like blizzard winds, just normal Buffalo area peak winter

Snow band shifting north and then expected to remain relatively stable over metro Buffalo and nearby northtowns for much of the overnight and day tomorrow.  Not gonna be pretty

Cold, high of 16, winds about 15 mph. Could be some snow showers/leftover lake bands but shouldn't be too terrible.  Advantage Bills for sure.

Trying to make the drive (or flight) in from St Louis. How are things looking out there? Consider me an amateur but at least somewhat capable for driving in bad conditions

Is that you Taylor? You do know the Chiefs aren’t coming for an entire week, right?

Ha St Louis has definitely become Chiefs country. Was at my 11 year old niece Taylor Swift themed birthday party last night and I made a bet with my 9 year old nephew. If the chiefs make it further than the Bills I'll give him $50 (he thinks this is hitting the lotto). If the Bills make it further he has to wear a Bills shirt to school the next day. He is in a panic

 

But in all seriousness I have a ticket and want to make the drive up there but not sure how things look amd don't know what forecast to trust. Should I do it? Can I do it?
