    I heard they were hiring people at 10.00 an hour to help clean up.

    Yeah- and no one could even get to the stadium to sign up.

    There's so much snow falling that roofs are colloasping. Roads are literally impassable as the snow is still taller than the cars. They would need to remove 220,000 tons of snow to have the field. Police and all other resources are being pooled to literally save people's lives. What the fuck do you expect them to do, bring magical helicopters to melt the snow? Give me a break.

    Seriously, any of you ever tried driving through 3' of wet snow? I don't care if you have a 4WD with chains- you're not going through that stuff. It's gonna take bulldozers and front end loaders to clear the roads- snowplows aren't going to cut it. They may literally have to helicopter the players out of their homes to get them to the airport.

    We got about a foot of lake effect last night. I drove 7 miles north to my mothers and she only got about 3 inches of snow. 6 feet is crazy.

  • Actually, I am wondering why they didn't put the game in Toronto, since the Bills have played on game there now for several years.....but did not play there this year:

    You know one thing I was wondering is it possibly having to do with all the people who need to go having proper passports to enter Canada. There might be an exemption clause though to that.

    I believe they don't actually need passports to go to Canada, they need passports to get back into the USA. The US government started this bullshit about everyone needing a passport to come back from Canada or Mexico just as a money raiser....nothing else.

    I have had a passport. There isn't a single damn thing on it to identify you that is any different than what is on a driver's license. It is purely for revenue.

  • 85 inches with some drifts to people's rooftops. 30 reported cases of roofs collapsing and 13 people dead.

    yeah, they should play the game there. lol.

    initially they were talking washington, pittsburgh and detroit. i guess they put them indoors as a favor to the players not to see snow for awhile.

    I'm not sure exactly the reasoning but either way you need one if you want to visit Canada and return to the US nowadays. Trust me, I remember going to Canada before hand through the Sioux in Michigan. Pretty much the conversation went:

    "what are you guys wanting to do in Canada?"

    Us: "We're just going fishing for a few days up in the wilderness."

    "....okay! Welcome to Canada, have a good time!".

    Maybe both teams could invade Pittsburgh? Or, since it is a Bill home game....put that game in Toronto.

    Well, considering the Steelers are playing at home thats doubtful 😉

    Play it in Cleveland, and make the Bills the home team?

    LOL, Browns-Bills Sunday night!!!

  • As I type this we are having freezing rain, on top of the snow. Man this is going to be a long winter.

  • PS if you think they were being pussies about moving the game, here's what the stadium looked like yesterday 🙂 Unless they get an army of guys in there to clear the snow, I'll put it at 50-50 they can even play the Browns there next Sunday.

    Oh they definitely need passports but the issue isn't just passports. Everyone going as part of both teams would also need work visas. That's why these games need to be setup in advance and Toronto isn't practical on such short notice.

    They did it for a good reason (passports/cards). Some states drivers licenses are too easy to forge.

    No kidding mik. Just another thread I'm sorry I clicked on.

    The game will easily be played in Buffalo. Probably without a shovel being used. It could probably be played tomorrow after all of the melting going on. We had three feet in back yard, and green grass right now. Warmer temps and 60 mph winds will finish off the snow.

    Glad to hear it, I hope everyone is safe up there. It's absolutely crazy how much snow has fallen.
