muppy Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 from a friend in Orchard Park #Czech54 Â Quote The equipment trucks all travel by road. Hopefully they left already. Players might not be able to get to airport tho. I'm less than 2 miles from the stadium. I can't even drive on a road, even in an emergency, currently. There is one path cut through the street, but it would be impossible to get out of the driveway, as the snowbank caused by the plow going down the street is chest high. hmm. well snowmobiles may be in play here? The stadium vicinity is being hammered as we speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngbills Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) They need to move game back to 4pm at least. If not make it a 8pm game. Who knows when on Sat Bills will fly out. At least gives them time for Sunday morning walk through or late Sat night walk through. Not to mention time for the equipment crew to get things settled. Edited November 18, 2022 by ngbills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Bills won that game and won out, they still would have missed the playoffs.. Even at 10-6. Cleveland was 10-6 and missed playoffs...  It was win and in for us with three games to go…we must’ve been in better tiebreaker shape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lake froze over early that year and there was a steady accumulation of snow until 75mph winds from the north blew two months of snow off of Lake Ontario onto WNY and across 7 counties.  There were 30 feet drifts in some places, with near Hurricane force winds.    2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sounds more like a storm I remember in 84-85, right around New Year's. The city just kept getting hammered by lake effect for days. Nothing was moving. I was a couple hours east at the time and we had little or no snow. However, friends tried to go in and "rescue" another friend who was trying to get out. They got almost to East Aurora and ran into snow drifts bigger than their car...turned around and gave up. The friend, trapped in downtown Buffalo, would call with updates. About day 3 he called to say a plow had finally come down his street....and got stuck. Nothing much got into or out of the city for about a week.  3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wind blew the snow with such force that it crystallized and turned into something like concrete and wasn't even be able to be moved by plows, they had to use heavy equipment to break it.  When they talk about once in a 1,000 year events, this literally was one of them...the required things that had to happen for such a long time prior to the actual storm occurring were crazy.
