    All that snow: What's it mean for Sunday?

    It's supposed to keep snowing too. Has a game in Buffalo ever been delayed or moved to later in the day because of such a snowstorm? This is ridiculous for November!!

    Nope. A Buffalo Bills game has never been cancelled due to weather.

    Supposed to be in the 50's by Saturday...which is crazy.

    RWS is going to be flooded.

    This is the craziest amount of snow I've ever seen!

    5 feet high in my backyard.

    It's definitely going to have an impact on how the Bills prepare for the Jets.

    Players can't get to the stadium.

    It's going to be a fishbowl if it warms up.

    Shoveling out a giant bowl of a stadium full of snow isn't going to be easy.

    The Polish Falcons Club of Depew cancelled for tonight.

    The Channel 2 News from Buffalo is entertaining.

    It will be a balmy 71.4 degrees in the Gibby Dome (my living room on gameday).

    Orchard Park got 5 feet of snow, on top of 18 degrees and wind. Not a misprint.

    I'm 20 minutes North in Tonawanda and we got nothing. Not an inch. I can see the grass.

    Re: All that snow: What's it mean for Sunday?

    This isn't just another snowstorm in Buffalo, it's the November Horror Storm of The Century.

    It's going to have an impact on the game if it takes people 3 days to shovel out their driveways.

    I've lived in Buffalo all my life and have never seen this much snow, and another foot is coming tomorrow, and Thursday!

    Prayers for the hundreds of people sitting stuck in their cars right now, running low on gas.

    This November Lake Freak Storm is going to go down in history, surpassing the Blizzard of 1977.

    Re: All that snow: What's it mean for Sunday?

    My question was serious. Is there any possibility of the game being moved to a later date? It's gotta be a state of emergency right?

    To anyone who lives there: hang in there guys. Stay warm and safe.

    I'd say there was. Looks like a couple more feet are expected to fall through Thursday, with winds and drifting. Temp. predicted to rise above freezing early Saturday afternoon, with rain commencing through Monday. What a mess that will make...

    I doubt they cancel the game but parking will be tough since their will be less parking spaces available due to snow banks. Also, the Bills could be flat. They should go somewhere for a few days. If more snow is coming they may not get any practice time in.

    Perfect example why a Dome stadium is the only option.

    The snow on the field is not the biggest problem, by far.

    The 7 feet of snow in the area is a much bigger problem and a dome won't help that unless it is a damn big one
