Potential weather for the Bengals game

[Simon]

Didn't want to bury this in a 30 page thread because some might be interested.

 

There is a very real possibility that there is going to be a 2-3 hr window right smack dab in the middle of this game where a couple inches of snow might fall on Orchard Park.

I mention this because we have all seen times when a fast blast of accumulating snow seemingly comes out of nowhere during a Bills home game. And we also have all seen how it can turn that stadium electric reeeeeal quick and have a legitimate impact on a game.

In addition to the interesting matchup, tomorrow could become extra entertaining for the folks in attendance.

 ❄️ Enjoy! ❄️

Thankfully my snowblower starts. Firing it up at 4:15 pm.

Considering we are, frustratingly, a better running team than a passing team, a good blizzard could be an advantage.

i have always been a big “build a dome” guy. But what a blessing a big storm would be for us— may hurt the bengals pass game and we finally be a true snow team with our new running game.

Light winds and no more than 2-3" accumulation, so no blizzard.

Just a quick dump of an inch or two that can get everybody good and fired up and trigger a raucous party.

The Bengals played just fine the last time they played in the snow in OP.

The Bengals have a real shot to make the playoffs if they win this game. This can be Revenge for the 2022 playoff game. Knock the Bengals out.

don’t remind me! Looked like we were gingerly walking on ice the entire game.

With my meteorology class I'm finishing up, Penn State recommended Pivotal Weather. I just signed up for a subscription, and I can actually read the maps they give. It's really an amazing website. All the word forecast models are available to you. I agree with Simon. About 2.2 inches will fall between 1pm and 4pm. Just enough to make Burrow cry.

This is the kind of insider information I come here for the night before a home game. Nothing like a snow globe game. So much fun.

Just enough to encourage the zebras to keep their flags in their pockets and make it off the field as quickly as possible. Good chance to get a bit physical on Chase and Higgins.

They looked very comfortable that’s for sure. The Bills looked like they had no idea what to do with snow falling. It was an embarrassment for the franchise.

I was at that game. Ugh. And then some Bills players saying they weren't prepared and were slipping. Wrong shoes and such. That made it worse.

Was also there. Supremely disconcerting to see the road team come in better prepared for on-field conditions, among other things. That game was an inevitable reckoning...the obvious conclusion to such an oddly frustrating, exhausting season for the team collectively and individually, almost as if the specter of 13 seconds had caused a hangover typically felt by SB losers.

 

And they still won 13 games. But Allen had 14 interceptions and 13 fumbles (of which HE recovered 5...not sure how many were in fact turnovers). Something changed right before halftime of that GB Halloween game. Most likely a concussion for Allen, on top of whatever else was going on for him off the field. The vibe was way off that season. Cinci was just the better team.
