Punching Bag Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I'd go but Washington DC area is snowed in for a week (we need a dome) with amount of snow received in WNY cleared in a single day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Good luck. They can’t get enough workers to keep Tim Hortons or mighty taco open regular hours. Can’t see many people being willing to shovel for that rate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeFrommStateFarm Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Weed is now legal in NY so maybe 15/hr and an ounce of weed?

BillsfaninSB Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Serious question. Where do you put the snow? Seems like you would just toss it where the next guy is shelving.

It would be an interesting experience. I’m sure the novelty would wear off quick though. Is this PSE or Erie county running the operation? If it were me I would make it a little more enticing. $20/hr or more would get more people there, get it done faster and might actually save money.

Start at the top... Push with one hand... When you get to the bottom of the stadium... That's when you quite. Seriously... Pretty easy to just push it down... Run a shovel over benches to aisle....Then push it down. YET... Hate to be waiting to tackle the pile at bottom. I wonder where they put in the upper deck?

Based on your post it is safe to say that you have never been or really known a homeless / transient person. Very hard life regardless if it was by poor choices, bad circumstances, or mental issues. To be that in Buffalo would be hell in the wintertime. I have done ministry with the homeless and they can be some of the kindest people you will ever meet. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushed to the aisles, chutes placed in the aisles, shovel snow in chutes, dumped on the playing surface, back loaders place snow in dump trucks, ultimately finding a home in the ECC parking lots.

Seems like tough sledding most of the time, but for this weekend, they can turn the tables and get a job, see a game, shop at Wegmans, and crush some beers. Small victories shouldn't be overlooked.

Never directly on the field. But it's still the astroturf stuff, isn't it? The entire "floor" of the stadium is covered in it. Seems like you would damage it, even if players aren't playing on it. And then how do they get heavy snowfall off the field where they DO play? It's an interesting problem I think. Maybe that fake grass is tougher than I think!
