He's sending me the pictures in a few minutes That about sums it up.

The game didn’t get postponed for football reasons. It was postponed for public safety reasons. It’s a friggin frozen hurricane in OP right now. We don’t play NFL football in hurricanes. This storm should be seen no differently. Edited January 14 by SectionC3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconator Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Just got back from the first snowblower pass. A solid 8 inches of snow fell. But the winds! No chance of pointing the snow shoot in the direction of the wind. Solid 40 mph plus wind gusts out there. (As mentioned, I'm about 3 miles east of Highmark Stadium) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, when we lived in our duplex, I made it a point to snowblow just so our upstairs neighbors had clear access just in case. They had to go to Urgent Care right during the middle of the first storm. So doing it while it's snowing and blowing makes for an easy final pass once all is said and done.

Normally I would but the wind is absurd. I was out and about I earlier and I’m going to get to work on it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Still snowing from dunkirk to Hamburg. Plenty of cars on the roads, they actually look really f'n good. 90 is as clean as you'd ever imagine it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not too bad. The entire band went south of buffalo. Reached OP and Hamburg, but all the way to Dunkirk. Originally expected a few more miles north.

Could be some snow showers/leftover lake bands but shouldn't be too terrible. Advantage Bills for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionC3 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Not a ton of snow (maybe a foot), but I can’t see across the street a few miles east of the stadium. It was absolutely the right call to postpone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha St Louis has definitely become Chiefs country. Was at my 11 year old niece Taylor Swift themed birthday party last night and I made a bet with my 9 year old nephew. If the chiefs make it further than the Bills I'll give him $50 (he thinks this is hitting the lotto). If the Bills make it further he has to wear a Bills shirt to school the next day. He is in a panic But in all seriousness I have a ticket and want to make the drive up there but not sure how things look amd don't know what forecast to trust. Should I do it? Can I do it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
