papazoid Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 LoL... No offense papazoid (not picking on you or the thread... threads like this are always great!), but WEO nailed it. Weather and our home games have been a bit skewed this year. It may have not been sloppy, but temps the last 5 weeks, I would say, have been below average... Then the one game, MIA @ The Ralph is a tad warmer! Go figure, LoL... With a deep freeze mixed in there... Bills just dodged bullets with so few late season home games! We will be back to go into a deep freeze in about few hours... It is starting now here... 3 home games in September and only one home game in the final 6 weeks helps the high temp stats.......

PromoTheRobot Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 The temps were all over the place at RWS but on average not cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I doubt it was the highest average temp, because the opener wasn't super hot like it has been several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 for November in some areas. Montana had a week of -15 http://www.weather.com/news/science/environment/cold-records-beat-warm-records-first-time-1993-20131203 With a large chunk of the U.S. having endured one of the coldest Thanksgiving holidays in years and even more brutally cold weather in the forecast over the next few days, 2013 is poised to have daily record lows outnumber daily record highs for the first time in 20 years. location, location, location And rightly so... This is normal. BFLO has a very tempered climate. It is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It is the warmer winter that brings a ton of snow off the lake... Unless it freezes, which given the cold temps, probably already is... Very much a microclimate. I still don't think it has been warmer than usual, probably colder than usual this past month... They only played one game in over a month in WNY and it was on a warmer/rainy trend. Back to the freeze starting this week... Temps here are already falling... It isn't supposed to be above freezing for the heartland/upper midwest for 10 days now. 3 home games in September and only one home game in the final 6 weeks helps the high temp stats....... Okay, I see what you are up to. Yes, I agree. Yet, this season is grossly skewed. You should have mentioned how skewed it is in your original post. So... You have to throw this season out as not counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulmac Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 See the supposed global warming of the earth has its benefits..despite unseasonably warm weather for a late December game in Buffalo, we still beat down the Fish...without the benefit of, and built in excuse for the Fins to lose another cold weather game in blustery Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 did a little research......average temp of all 7 home games per year, last 5 seasons: 2013 - 61 2012 - 52 2011 - 59 2010 - 44 2009 - 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) did a little research......average temp of all 7 home games per year, last 5 seasons: 2013 - 61 2012 - 52 2011 - 59 2010 - 44 2009 - 49 I agree with what you say... But 2013 should be thrown out and not counted... Only one game was played outside @ The Ralph in the last 5 weeks... 2013, I will give you is the warmest, BUT should count! The schedule makers totally fudged it this year. AND do the count the temp @ the TOR game? LoL That had to be like 72 in a dome... LoL They must not looking @ 2010! EDIT: I see where you say 7 home games... Ooops, my bad about the TOR game. See the supposed global warming of the earth has its benefits..despite unseasonably warm weather for a late December game in Buffalo, we still beat down the Fish...without the benefit of, and built in excuse for the Fins to lose another cold weather game in blustery Buffalo How was today unseasonably warm? Wasn't it in the high 30's? It felt warm today because the last 3 weeks have been so damn cold!

djp14150 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 i don't have any weather data, but this season's average outdoor temperature of all Bills home games has got to be the all time highest. Duh--you have 4 home games before Columbus Day its going to skew warmer not to mention moving a December game to Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 3 home games in September and only one home game in the final 6 weeks helps the high temp stats....... Yeah this. But it is hard to ignore the fact that for the last week or so it has been unseasonably cold, then by Tuesday it is going to be back in the teens. It warmed up for three days.
