Just too much snow to get removed by Sunday. Maybe Tuesday or someplace else.

All this is caused by global warming that made the lakes warm.

I am pretty sure it was caused by abortions.

Might have been the libtards or teabaggers though.

Nah, their rabid Fans ain't gonna shovel that kind of snow for $10 an hour and a ticket to that game. (They did advertise this)

If they would hurry up and move the team to Toronto it won't be a problem anymore.

They are paying $10 an hour and giving free tickets to those that dig out the stadium.

Now they are playing the game in Detroit. Ford Field: home of lost, wayward NFL teams since 2010.

Well, the news report I heard said it wasn't just the stadium but the surrounding area. People can't get to the stadium to clear snow for $10/hr and a free ticket. They aren't sure they'll have the roads (and parking lots?) cleared by Sunday. They're telling everyone to stay home and out of the way.

Apparently, 6 feet of snow is a lot of snow... even for Buffalo.

i'd think that everyone that lives in an area that is known for getting a couple of snow storms every year where they measure the accumulation with a yard stick would own a snowmobile and have a truck with a plow on it..

and there was a prediction last night of another 2 feet

the team hasn't been able to practice all week … can't get to the stadium, couldn't practice even if they could get there … 8 - 9 ft of snow is tough to do anything with

when it gets that deep, a truck with a plow probably won't cut it

When it gets that deep even most end loaders are going to have a hard time stacking it high enough clear an area.

pipe bombs to clear the snow? (not a political or violent comment, just saying the semi controlled fire/explosions seems like a good method to promote melting and evaporation even in frigid temps)

i really hope they can't play there next sunday too and move the game somewhere else like detroit, because if they do that i'm going.

That giant 8ft snow blower I have for sale wouldn't even cut it very well.....

In reply to wbjones:

We know that feeling, we usually run our '87 f150 with its old straight Boss blade and a utility tractor with a loader. Last year, after that first 16" snowstorm, we should have blown it.

It's just as well, the Jets can't seem to play anywhere

Tickets to the Bills-Jets game at Ford Field are free. So, any of you NFL fans within driving distance can have a cheap day out.

I saw a little news report yesterday- the Bills management was pleased and delighted, and not a bit surprised, that they were able to find all the players and coaches.
