Yeah, I've been caught downwind of Erie a couple times, once on a rural highway with a malfunctioning wiper and with 3 12yr old basketball players in the truck; it was the quietest I have ever heard a pack of young boys. I think they were almost as freaked out as me:ph34r:

That the Chiefs didn't have to call a timeout or sub him out for that play while the equipment was exchanged was something else, though.

 

Yeah, that was “wait, WAT?”

Just another January day. 

/sarcasm off

 

😂😂😂

It's not an unusual January storm I don't know what you're arguing... That doesn't mean everyday in January is like this... It's a typical January storm

 

This is nothing Western New York does not see yearly everybody who lives here agrees

 

We have snow shovelers in orchard Park shirtless because they're used to this

 

It has nothing to do with if a football game should be played or not.. whatever postpone it...

 

But this is weather we are used to... It's not unordinary

Orchard Park saw blizzard conditions today. Blizzards are not and never have been ordinary weather in Buffalo.

A blizzard is a term used for a storm with blowing winds over 35 mph with snow blown making visibility near zero 

 

There are storms that meet that qualification every single year in Western New York from Buffalo to orchard Park to Sardinia ... Most storms reduce the visibility to zero because the wind

 

Buffalo is the snowiest major city in America.. and we always have a lot of wind because we're on the lake

 

We have storms every year where 35 mph wind is blowing snow making visibility zilch

 

Every year

We do

 

You are missing key criteria in your definition of a blizzard; chiefly that those 35mph winds or gusts must be sustained for a minimum of three hours and include visibility of less than 1/4 mile during that time. That was the reality in OP today. 


Also and for whatever it’s worth, based on 30 year averages, Buffalo gets less snow than Syracuse, Erie, Pa, and Rochester.

... It was a good storm... And we hit the qualifications of today's storm every year... I have a storm every year with wind over 35 mph for hours with blowing snow and zero visibility 

 

I just got back from walking around a mile and a half around the West Seneca orchard Park border... 

 

And yes we have storms like this every single year... Every single year we get hit with something like this with hours of snow and blowing wind reducing visibility to almost nothing

 

That's the Hallmark of lake effect storms.. A lake effect storm is basically a blizzard because it usually comes with a lot of wind off the lake.. the epicenters always a blizzard

 

It always comes with prolonged wind blowing snow and zero visibility

Blizzard conditions were certainly forecasted before today, when hard decisions needed to be made. And in speaking to people in OP today, the conditions were met. Whether the NWS qualifies as such remains to be seen. But if you insist in quibbling over a few miles an hour of wind, feel free. But there is nothing ordinary about the weather conditions at the stadium today.

If I see it yearly I don't consider it abnormal ... WNY gets storms like this yearly ... It's not new to WNYrs

 

The epicenter of every lake effect storm IS a blizzard basically 

 

Go bills , it doesn't bother me they moved it ... But this storm happens every year throughout WNY

 

That's what lake effect does in the epicenter ... It's always a wild storm in the heart of it

And no concussion protocol for Mahomes!

Why would there have been concussion protocol?
