    9:06AM Travel ban remains in place in and around Buffalo

    Those who were complaining about the postponement of the Steelers-Bills game from Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET to Monday at 4:30 p.m. ET got real quiet real fast when video emerged of the Ice Station Zebra conditions at the stadium on Saturday night.

    As of Sunday morning, New York Governor Kathy Hochul said a travel ban remains in place for Erie County and surrounding areas, until further notice.

    “My top priority is to keep New Yorkers safe, and this winter storm continues to pose a life and safety risk,” she said, via WGRZ.com. “While there are some areas that are no longer experiencing whiteout conditions, much of Erie County remains unsafe for motorists. Please take precautions, monitor local forecasts and take steps to keep you and your family safe.”

    The issue isn’t whether it’s safe to play in the elements. The issue is whether it’s safe for people to travel to and from the game. And whether it’s sensible to have resources devoted to rescuing those who attempt and fail to get there. And whether it makes sense to unnecessarily imperil first responders who would be trying to help those who end up in a jam from which they’d need to be saved.

    Even if the Bills were building a domed stadium, this would still be a possibility. During the 2022 season, a game was moved to Detroit due to the snow. It’s an inherent risk, and periodic reality, of having an NFL team in Buffalo.

      I read in another article that even if it’s not bad in the Southtowns, it might be bad in the Northtowns, and Bills games require a lot of public resources that might be needed in other areas where the snow is worse.

      The rest of the county doesn’t seem to understand how lake effect works. Some places can get a dusting where other places just a couple miles away might get feet. Even if it’s not bad right near the stadium it’s impossible for most people to get to the stadium without driving through the bad areas.

            you guys realize that MOST people have NO IDEA what a snow storm is, or how it affects a region. All they see is KC played and it was colder than most people ever experience. When western NYers hear -4 we think "oh well" when everyone south of PA hears it they think Armagedon. so they think if KC can do it why cant Buffalo? Cold is not the same thing as SNOW. We know it but most people do not.

              It’s not the snow as much as its the wind that wreaks havoc. We’ve been having 50-60mph winds here the last few days and probably an inch of snow, max, and the major highways are a disaster

                Id be willing to bet we will see plenty of footage today showing OUR stadium during what would have been game time. The NFL will work hard to show they made the right decision

                    Looks like a death scene.

                    I'm glad they delayed it.

                      No way the stadium area is cleared or ready by tomorrow, there’s zero chance of it. The snow band is set up there right now, it’s clocking the place. It was always a Tuesday game.

                          How long before they announce that?

                            They’ll announce it around 4:30 PM to give ~24 hour notice. Steelers aren’t here yet & do have a scheduled flight into the area around 3:43 PM today (leaving Pittsburgh around 3 PM).

                              If they know that there's no good reason not to announce it now.
