Sure it might be warmer now but it's not always Frozen Typically the Great Lakes are about 10 - 20% covered in ice around this time of the season. This year on New Years Day, ice coverage was recorded at 0.35%. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really windy where I am. The stadium, however, is probably the windiest spot in the area. (Lake shore not included.). I can’t see anyone trudging out there in this mess.

BillsFan619 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 6 hours ago, Chaos said: If the Chiefs win, they will have 8 days rest next sunday, the Bills will have 6. Two extra prep days is huge for top tier coaches like Reid. Not necessarily. Reid and the coaches won’t know who they’re playing until after the Steelers, Bills play. Same for all the coaches, they won’t know who to prepare for until after the game. Go Bills! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The snow % for Monday went way up in the past 24 hours. The winds look better at 10-20mph and hopefully no whiteout conditions. Just a real wintry week ahead, looks like a few inches of snow nearly every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were gonna shift the game, they should have moved it up to Saturday. I have no idea why you wouldn’t want the game to be played before the system rolls in.

I mean… not one game ever has been suspended because of weather due to an open stadium. 90% of those games suspended were because of September hurricanes. The Minnesota game was suspended FROM a dome. The Bills game have been suspended because of public safety, not because the game would be played outside. A dome does zero to alleviate these suspensions. We understand this, right? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo716 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Just now, Governor said: The Steelers aren’t even in Buffalo until tomorrow afternoon. Hence why I said... They've known this could be possible since Wednesday... If the league scheduled it on Saturday ASAP it would not have been a problem If the league on Wednesday changed it to Saturday the Steelers could have been here Edited January 14 by Buffalo716 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Nice thing about the game being postponed a day is we get to enjoy a day of the Dolphins loss no matter what, before the pressure of our game. We need to get our job done to keep the enjoyment going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 17 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: Does anyone know what snow totals are at the stadium now? Total guess judging only from radar returns: Maybe 8" so far? Probably a bit more to the south of Orchard Park. Band is sliding northward now and it will likely start piling up more overnight.
