Simon Posted January 14 Posted January 14 18 minutes ago, Big Turk said: Hahaha, hell no...I've been caught out in these a few times and it's downright scary. 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 1 Quote
Success Posted January 14 Posted January 14 If I never hear "the Bills are soft" again, based on this postponement - well, that'd just be okay. Quote

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 Edited January 15 by Buffalo716 Quote

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 Edited January 15 by Buffalo716 1 Quote

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. Quote

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 Edited January 15 by Buffalo716 1 Quote

Every single year we get hit with something like this hours of snow and blowing wind 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. 2 Quote

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 Edited January 15 by Buffalo716 Quote
Bob Jones Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Just curious….were the Bills able to practice yesterday & today, or were they all locked down at home due to the travel ban? Quote
