Monday at 4:30.

It sucks but you can’t have tens of thousands of people traveling into a legit blizzard w 65mph gusts. It’s not a regular 6-12” deal. It’s 1-2’+ with whiteout conditions…unless the LES is south lol.

Especially LES events. Buffalo folks are used to it but the general public (out of towners) don’t understand how quickly and suddenly conditions can deteriorate.

Kathy Hochul made the call fwiw

Like most major decisions, it was made in conjunction with NWS folks and emergency management leaders...  It really is not even about the game perse; it's about the safety of having thousands of travelers on the road and no way to get to them...  Folks have short memories about how many people died last year in the Buf blizzard.  I'd love to see a game in blizzard conditions, but it's the big picture more than the game....

Huh... really does feel like a cool spring vibe out there.  Even smells like it ... like a misty day during mud season, circa late March. 

Just noticed a broken squall line of low toppers forming west of Worcester

Oh no, a month before your typical warm car seat post? Man, this is ugly

I'm not editorializing on the decision, but I've seen a bunch of unhappy folks ripping the NFL when they're just doing what they're told in this instance.  Not that the NFL needs me to defend em.

Band will be south of stadium by 1-2pm I think, they just did not want people driving in it.  I feel maybe having it at night would have been fine
