HtownBillsFan Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 So how is it up there right now? We will be driving in from Hornell tomorrow. Will it be worth the trip or is Buffalo really supposed to get hit hard? I've looked at the weather channels but I want to from the proverbial "Horses mouth". Thanks!
Stussy109 Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 FRICKIN COLD... where as many layers as possible.
smokinandjokin Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Snow today (Fri) but supposed to taper off Saturday, especially by game time. Please also take into account that the weatherman is always wrong.

It's "wintery" - but really nothing too out of the odinary for Upstate NY.

stevestojan Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Weird. I heard the forcast is 70 degrees and free of precip. Oh, wait, that's because I'll be watching from my recliner in my friend's living room. Wow, I'm SOOOO much more excited about the Sabres game tomorrow than Mularkey's game.
Mark VI Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 76..humid..sun block 45 is recommended. Keep hydrated and bring lots of water.
cåblelady Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 We did our snow game last Sunday. Won't be taking another one for the team tomorrow. No way. No how.
HtownBillsFan Posted December 17, 2005 Author Posted December 17, 2005 would anyone be willing to call me or text message me (Verizon cell) tomorrow around 2:30 to tell me what the weather is like up there tomorrow. We will be driving basically through the snowbelt, and if its going to be sh------- before, during, and after the game-it aint worth it to me. PM me if anyone is willing. Thanks in advance!

If you want PM me with you cell# but remember I might get busy with snow removal, parking, drinking, eating, in the lot and might forget to call you.
kasper13 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Weather forecasts on the 11pm news in Buffalo all said the same thing. It should stop snowing by the early afternoon and be fine by game time. It didn't even snow half as much as they were all predicting today.

kasper13 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 From this AM's Buffalo News: "Wind Shear ripped off the tops of the clouds and that did not lead to an organized lake effect snow system, most areas saw 3 to 5 inches instead of the predicted 12+ inches. Snow for the remainder of the day into tonight can't be ruled out." When they talk inches instead of feet, it's no big deal at all. Right now, 15 minutes from RWS, it's snowing lightly. All the streets are plowed and salted, some may even be sanded for your driving pleasure. If you read the forecast carefully, you will notice words such as "Could, possible and chance". If they say, "you are all screwed, stay inside or else" then you worry a little bit, get a 12 pack and watch the game on TV.
