In 2017 they pushed the game back 6 hours between Pittsburgh in KC because of storm during the playoffs. Here they had to wait 27 hours. Am not crying that the game's not getting played tomorrow I'm just disappointed I don't get to see my Buffalo Bills I don't think this storm is anything we are not used to dealing with tho The bills have been playing in orchard Park since 1972... And Western New York has seen a lot Edited January 14 by Buffalo716 1 Quote

No one cares that Buff716 knows how to drive in the snow. Moving the game up arguably is more detrimental to the teams’ preparedness than postponing it. The league’s not going to make that call 72+ hours out either way. 3 2 Quote

I don't think it's an advantage or disadvantage I'm just saying the bills have been playing in orchard Park since 1972 And this is nothing we haven't dealt with over the years I'm very excited to watch us on Monday Edited January 14 by Buffalo716 Quote

Last in 1996. I am pretty sure we dodged bullets. Global Warming the last 20 years we were a non-factor 2 regular season games were moved. The Lake isn't frozen yet. That's a problem in January, snow machine still on. Quote

You don't have to remind me about the lack of home games over 60 years Thank you for ruining my good evening And we've had five home playoff games with Josh Allen....

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 14 Posted January 14 I say 1996 up until the few we just had. We always had these issues. Just dodged then in regular season. Quote

I remember the Buffalo News posted an article a few years ago saying why warm lake temperatures doesn't equal bad snow We've always dealt with these issues My father has shoveled out the Ralph multiple times since the 70s... At least they used to give you a ticket Even a couple years ago they would give you a ticket for shoveling lol Edited January 14 by Buffalo716 Quote

The Lake will rapidly freeze now. 😉 I am more worried it will be cloudy on April 8th during total eclipse in BFLo... It was the last time in 1925. 😆 1 minute ago, Buffalo716 said: I remember the Buffalo News posted an article a few years ago saying why warm lake temperatures doesn't equal bad snow But cold Arctic blasting over does equate to snow. It's -5°F here right now. You won't get it all that cold, buy LE snow IS coming tomorrow as the system moves east. Quote
Buffalo716 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 I'm also not the guy to act tough and think he's Superior... I grew up playing high School football in Western New York Some of my worst memories are out on cold fields in Iroquois I certainly don't want to play in this weather... But Josh is getting payed millions on Monday That's always good incentive Quote

The travel game is much bigger today. My worst drive ever was in 2009 from Pittsburgh to Erie on I79 right in teeth of a LE band. Coming from Florida to Buffalo. I have many white knuckle drives, thar one was 100x the worst! That's the route Steelers fans will take. 1 Quote

Didn't help that "W" was at the end of the alphabet on the radio school closing broadcast! 😕😞 Yeah but if you just missed your school on the ticker, it was like a 15 minute wait until it came back around again. It’s like waiting on the draft details when you missed our pick. 1 1 5 Quote

Richard Noggin Posted January 14 Posted January 14 29 minutes ago, Beck Water said: I think that's a pretty typical pattern for lake effect snow, isn't it? Couple inches in N Amherst, Tonawanda, and Niagara County which are shielded from the lake Good snowstorm somewhere between Downtown Buffalo and Angola, but nothing too outrageous Some limited belt within that area gets HAMMERED and winds up with 3 foot drifts Some ####### is undoubtedly and inevitably going to stand in the northern part of the city and blog on the internet about how the travel ban and the snowstorm are "fake news" when it's pretty clear they're out of the Lake Effect area. Oh for sure. That's the traditional pattern. Going to high school in NT meant almost ZERO snow days due to factors you've identified above. But last year broke with tradition for both major storms, as we got unusually CRUSHED both times. So far, this year, we're seeing a regression to the mean, so to speak. Quote
Stenbar Posted January 14 Posted January 14 I live in Grand Island, up till about 40 minutes ago we had one little 30 minute beating. Now thunder snow. It will be done in an hour... Quote
