Definite bummer. yeah it is. My visits in Detroit are usually for music festivals at Hart Plaza. Most days we would head to the casino for a bathroom break and cool off (would play some slots to not cause an issue) and then head to Greektown or Bricktown for food. Pizzapopolis had great deep dish. Nikky's was good modestly priced diner food, or you could get some greek/ middle eastern favorites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kinda reminds me of Minneapolis! Those folks rarely have to go outside downtown in the winter, and for good reason! Why is it that is the location of the only Super Bowl I’ve ever been to? It’s like the World Cup in summer in Qatar, why didn’t somebody realize that was a bad idea BEFORE signing up for the deal? EDIT: That was in the OLD stadium in Minneapolis and that place was a dump! I’d love to see a game, any game, in their new stadium. Even in the winter. . Edited November 19, 2022 by Augie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 There is virtually no snow where I am (West Amherst). There is even less where some of my friends are in Niagara Falls.

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. I remember climbing around on the tops of 2 story houses in our neighborhood from the drifts. There was an open area down the road from my neighborhood the drifts reached the tops of telephone poles. At the time it was just no school / fun time - never really fully appreciated in the moment how incredible it was Edited November 18, 2022 by stevewin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is almost always going to be less snow in those locations. Has been for as long as there has been Lake Effect snow. The typical wind direction favors Ski Country, the Southtowns, the Eastern Suburbs and the Buffalo Metro area near the airport in that order. I am not sure why anyone would be surprised that Amherst, Tonawanda, NT, Grand Island, Niagara Falls, Lewiston, Lockport or any of the other northern areas are not hit as much. It's how it is almost every time there is a Lake Snow event. 3 minutes ago, Marvin said: I heard it is already over 2 feet south of Hamburg.

Im not too worried about it. I cleaned out the garage to park the car in there, got my snowblower ready, and did enough grocery shopping to last at least a week. Just going to keep snow blowing to keep up with it. My little blower doesnt do so well with a ton of snow. I might run out of gas though as I forgot to get that =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again the game was never going to be played in Buffalo with the weather the way it is right now. there would be no way it could be cleared out enough to play on that field.

The bold would only add to the bizarre and legendary events of this year. From cooked to death to not being get out of town due to 5 feet of snow.

If they couldn’t practice today, why not travel? You have a good point right there. They should have left Thursday night after they announced they were playing in Detroit. That way they could have got out of there before the storm really hit. I'm thinking they didn't really think it was going to be that bad when the storm was first reported to be coming. I Believe I read somewhere that Cleveland has already bused out of Cleveland to Detroit and likely are already there. While the bills are buried in orchard park. As Augie said above, this is some crazy s***, real crazy. 13 minutes ago, Buffalo619 said: Seems like overall poor planning. If they couldn’t practice today, why not travel? I really don't believe there was any way they could travel today unless they would have done what Cleveland did and just left in a bus? At the end of the day this is a real big mess and it isn't as easy as it was the last time they had to go to Detroit. This storm it's starting to turn into historical measures.

SectionC3 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) For what it’s worth, I’m near the stadium in OP. My street was plowed 12 hours ago and it hasn’t been touched since. There’s at least three feet of snow in the road. Objectively I think the national guard is going to have to come in to dig us out. Or we wait for it to melt. The town just let it go too far. I’m skeptical the Bills can round everyone up to get out tomorrow. I really am. I’ll be surprised if we don’t play at 8p on Sunday and leave day of game.
