You didn't say it was in the early 90s! You made it sound like it was recent.

Not sure if I can go along with you on that, but that was really funny at the end.

I know from an insider that the Bills aren't going to be him as the top safety in the league. They really like him, too, because of what you said..........But, I think what they were willing to do last year would have made him about the fifth highest.

It's hard to argue with that one, but the one I'm talking about is most famous right now for being the brunette in Blurred Lines (there is also an unrated version on youtube where the three models are topless the whole time. You can see her with even less on by doing google image search:

People who working govt jobs in 1977 are still working?

That's what I was looking for, too?...............And, what is the date that Byrd starts really playing games vs. claiming foot problems?

I was helping a friend clean out his mother's house a few years ago, and we came across that board game. He said I'm keeping this!

They still do that.

Does anybody know of any kid who died of something that parents of today would not be so lax about?

They must have known they had extra tough kids. I thought the whole area had off that Thursday and Friday

Like I said....

CNN thinks the criteria for a blizzard is different in Buffalo - LOL..............The chick is actually the daughter of Phyllis George and John Y. Brown, the guy who stole our Braves: http://www.buffalonews.com/gusto/television/this-is-cnn-and-this-is-cnns-definition-of-a-blizzard-20140109

Actually, I don't think they were. I think the MNF crew was the A team and they were the espn Sunday night crew - ABC's B team. I agreed with Maguire that it was coming back, but had to admit on replay that thing unbelievably was totally straight to the side.

LOL!!

That's really interesting. I never knew that. Somebody mentioned losing power above, and the one thing our family said was that we think we got lucky having the Ice Storm 10 months before. It wasn't as cold then, and I think we had all brand new lines that withstood the blizzard. I couldn't imagine not having heat for that thing.

I would like to know why the last guy who gets tackled isn't usually more eager to pitch it back again. It seems like it works for about 20 yards, then that last guy just gets tackled!

If he used Genny Screamers, he would have been in my social circle.

Yeah, it started 12/26 while I was at a Sabres game. By the time we left Cobblestone, it was really coming down............A few stops in South Buffalo and my friends were then stranded at my house................It didn't stop, at that rate, for days.

I hate the idea of playoff expansion. Why would it be needed. Almost every AFC still had a chance until at least mid December. We've already had 7-9, and 8-8 teams in. Anything that waters down the regular season is bad, IMO.

But, in 2001, it was the 2nd ranked 24 hour snowfall, followed by the 4th ranked one, etc..............At the end of the 3-4 days, it was 7 feet of snow!! That was insanity

Third one was the crazy early December 2010 storm, where it was green grass in the Northtowns and people stranded throughout the Southtowns. High on the list of top ten weather events in last 100 years, per Buffalo News: While we wait, and with as little scientific basis as possible, here is a list of ten of the region’s top weather events in slightly more than a century. 10. The Ice Storm of 1976. It hit in early March and caused tens of thousands to lose power for days. It would be even more memorable if not for what happened 10 months later. 9. The Blizzard of 1993. Not much of a storm really, but remembered because it came in mid-March with winter almost over and carried the rare “blizzard” classification. 8. The St. Patrick’s Day storm in 1936. That storm dumped 19 inches of snow on Buffalo, in mid-March. The snow was so deep and heavy that by midafternoon, streetcar service had ceased, according to the National Weather Service. 7. January 1985. The storm that launched a zillion six-pack references, thanks to then-Mayor Jimmy Griffin’s memorable advice, and closed some schools for days. 6. December 2001. It was absurd how much snow fell in such a short time period: 25.2 inches in one 24-hour period. 5. November 2000. The snow started to fall at the worst possible time and led seemingly everyone who was downtown to think at the exact same moment, “I think I’ll try to go home,” leaving thousands stranded and/or sleeping under their desks. 4. December 2010. Equal parts devastating and weird. Draw a line from Lake Erie through Cheektowaga. Everyone north of it was untouched. Everyone south of it got creamed. Thousands stranded on the Thruway led to reforms that should prevent it from happening again. 3. The “white hurricane,” from November 1913. Six Coast Guardsmen lost their lives in Lake Erie, off Buffalo, while trying to warn others about the 80-mph winds that created 35-foot waves in the lake. An estimated 240 people lost their lives along the Great Lakes. 2. The October Surprise, 2006. Even while it was happening, it was hard to believe it could happen. It was largely a Northtowns event, and the effects can still be seen in neighborhoods where trees have never come back. 1. The Blizzard of ’77. The Rose Bowl of storms; the granddaddy of them all. Had schools not been closed on Thursday and Friday, before THE blizzard hit, the storm to end all storms in Western New York would have been even more catastrophic.

Yeah, 1985 was 2nd worse that I remember to 77. The Jimmy Griffin 6 pack blizzard. And, 76 was the ice storm. That was fun for this 13 year old. No power our whole family stayed with our friends down the street who had a fireplace.

That's exactly what this weatherstreet.com is showing. So, I guess I'll stick with it. I agree on the melting, too. There's going to be a lot of flooding if it happens again with heavy rain.

I don't know what a widget is? Is it just the weather.com app on your iphone? Yeah, karma has been kicking our butts here since I opened my mouth..............I don't mind this much myself. But, it's really almost 3 straight months of what would be considered bad weather by most...........And, for me, I'd consider the first 6 weeks of it my least favorite - cold, windy and rainy..............I do like snow.

The weather caught us totally by surprise on November 20, 2000, the October Surprise 2006, and I think there was a third time recently where people were stranded all over.
