I’m sure the state of emergency declaration probably did in any chance of them going thru with the game. You’re either telling people to stay off the roads or you’re not. Pittsburgh’s only a bit over 200 miles from Buffalo, you think Steeler fans or Bills Mafia would actually stay home and not try to go to the game? Haha 

Yeah for sure.

I am sure the steel fans wanted to watch their game this weekend instead of Monday (though it is a day off for some) so I apologize for promoting it to be moved....but it would have been irresponsible to play it today.  

Yeah I agree but it would have been fun to watch it tomorrow. Blizzard game that would have never been canceled years ago.

I’m just waiting for the NFL to announce they’re going to play the game Monday night or something. The NY governor declared state of emergency for that part of the state last night. As much of a spectacle that it would be on TV, I dunno how you logistically play the game when it comes to getting the fans there in those conditions with the state of emergency declaration. 

Yeah they won’t play the same time as the eagles. But could be earlier.

Holy moly, Buffalo forecast from late this afternoon through Sunday night is 1 - 2 feet of snow, wind gusts mid 60's tonight and mid 40's tomorrow.  How the f is there going to be a football game?  But per the NFL, it is still game on.  Wow, can't wait to watch!

Should be great!

No sir, way too close to punt now…we could still easily get a widespread 2-4 out of Tuesday.

I want to believe….especially seeing out the snow out in the Midwest.

Might be time to punt Tuesday. Hope the 20th works out because if not  we won’t have anything to track until mid February it seems. 

That’s not true it will warm up but reload before the end of the month.

0z Canadian still has decent snow just to our southeast for Tuesday.

I think our sights now turn to the 20th

GFS is Nada!

Steady rain here. Bordering on heavy. 

It’s almost done

Looks like this rain is falling apart

18z NBM blend still solid for Tuesday.

Can it win!

So we expecting 1-24” next week makes perfect sense  

How much Virga:

ICON!

Here’s the latest for the arctic wild-card matchups

Kansas City 7pm Sat via NBM. This falls to about -3ºF by the end of the game. Euro is as cold as -5ºF at kickoff

Wind Chills:

Here’s BUF’s early snow forecast for the lake effect snow. Orchard Park is right in the middle of that 18-24”

 

 

Fun Wild card weekend!

Thanks all for showing the good runs getting a little nervous last night. 

We got a couple of weeks of tracking starting next week. Gonna be fun!

Euro and Icon were pretty similar at 12z. Hopefully that continues with the 18z runs.

Thanks. I just was looking at the 12z Euro it looked like the low was way off shore.

Best ICON run since 0z last night. Like you said, Ratios could help us this event.

Looks good not liking the Euro though hope off run

Great story Belichick says goodbye to the Kraft Family. He is an icon who coached the GOAT of All time. It will be interesting to see if he goes somewhere else. Now back to the snowstorm let's do it! 

GFS nice 6-10" snowstorm. I am gearing up ready to roll with it.

I have no rooting interest in this one really - I don't like or dislike either team. I was trying really had (and failing) to be clever in incorporating Cee Dee into my analysis.   

 Thank you!

Green Bay needs to figure out how to win the time of possession game in a big way if they want a chance - probably only chance you have to win the game of silence of the lamb. 

Be Nice!

I’d make a solid wager on it becoming very newsworthy in the sports media as it gets in the short range and BUF starts putting out products and accumulation forecasts for it (significant LES already being mentioned in their AFD). Although I’d probably make a solid wager on taking the Steelers at +10 too haha.

But it seriously looks like a great setup for a major LES event. It’d be the first widespread one of the season with legitimate cold air over the unfrozen lakes too. I posted a map a few days ago and things look about the same with that WSW flow over the length of Lake Erie focusing on the south towns of Buffalo (where Orchard Park is). Aligned cyclonic WSW flow all the way up through 700mb. Low level 925 and 850mb temps in the -10 to -18ºC (ideal range for snow growth) over water temps in Erie that are mostly in the upper 30s to near 40. Timing is right around game time too and during Sunday. It could be a quite a spectacle. 

Love it Mag! Awesome to have snow games this weekend!

Legit cold going to be in Texas for about 70 hours next week. Should be impressive. 

Hope not Sunday!
