Once the border opens up Id be excited to see a Lake Erie special haha. Ive always debated driving to one of motels off I-90 south of Buffalo and witnessing one first hand. Ideal set up is Bills game Sunday and big Lake Effect Sunday night into Monday haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a really good one @DeltaT13 went to a few years ago. I think it was 20" in Orchard Park and it happened in middle of game. I think it was against the Eagles? It's a really rare occurrence to get everything timed right. We only have 8 Bills home games and only 2-3 in Nov/Dec. However, with the Bills being good now, we can add 1-2 games a year of playoff football into the mix! I had to work that day and am so mad that I missed it. I'll be going to almost all the games this coming year, cant wait!

A top 5 weather event in my life. 8-10 inches of snow in about 3 hours, all hitting during the game. 3 huge lightning flashes directly over the stadium that few people even recognized as thundersnow. The game went to overtime and we won! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets increasingly tough for the lake plains to get snow after March 15th unless we really go into the freezer. Torontos daily average increases 12F in March from 34F to 46F. Buffalo is even warmer starting at 37F and ending at 49F I certainly don't discount snowstorms after March 15th as it does tend to happen every 5-10 years but in March every day matters lol. Theres a big difference between March 1st and March 30th Though for you guys with elevation and closer to the coast, I might be wrong but March snowstorms tend to be pound town.

Geez150 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Big snow on top of warm muddy ground and water doesn't excite me much anymore. If anything, hoping the north country keeps cold enough and gets good snow to keep things rolling up there for possibly one last run up in March for a few bonus miles on the sleds. Other than that if we can't keep the cold with the snow I'm about all set here in WNY. I would like snow on the ground for maple weekend, then after that may as well bring on a hopefully dry transition to spring so I don't have to wipe too many muddy dog paws lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
