Bills players returned home and had to dig their cars out, I think they got about 22 inches.

    I'm shocked the Bills didn't have the grounds crew or maintenance clear their cars?

    Yes, I saw that SUV with the mountain of snow in the roof. I know it's a pain, but you really should not leave the parking lot with that on the vehicle.

    Here in Florida, the high was 45 degrees on Christmas Day. It's cold day here if it doesn't reach 60. We didn't get any snow and didn't even have frost on the ground because the air was bone dry. It still managed to kill some uncovered plants on my lawn, however. :/

I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    About 5 years ago we actually got a good amount of snow, I had a blast playing with the neighborhood kids, we even made a snowman Cam Newton.

    Agreed. I can see an injury update that a Bills player is out hurting themselves digging out their vehicle on Bills property.

    Sombody's creation a few years ago, pondering their fate while watching traffic over the Massachusetts Turnpike. Pretty well done I thought.

    2022 just broke the record for Buffalo from 1976 which I lived through. So much snow fell they had to dump it in city parks. It was still melting in July 1977 and that not an exaggeration

    Yes.

    Many times, in Colorado where I grew up.

    ....
    Me too! Were the players really digging out their own cars. I ask for two reasons...One, these guys have almost everything done for them. And two, shoveling is legitimately an injury risk.

    Testosterone filled young males who play a violent sport that requires them to be in top physical condition should be shielded from having to remove snow off their cars!!!!! (because they have everything done for them and because they might be injured?)

    Geeze, what type of mindset is present in today's society that gives this reasoning any credence or validity.

    How about cancelling NFL games when there is any hint of snow, rain, wind, or sunny skies with temperatures over 85 degrees. Players should not be required to play in those conditions (because you know they might get hurt, or even worse get a sunburn). Can't have your NFL players participate in any activity (including games) where there is a legitimate risk of injury.

    These NFL players should toughen up.

    In the 1930's my dad walked 20 miles to school every day (10 miles going to school from home in the morning and the same 10 miles in the afternoon going from school to home), uphill both ways, through snow storms/blizzards, from Labor Day to Memorial Day during the school year. He had it tough and never complained. Neither did his classmates. Those kids from Miami, Florida in the 1930's were tough I tell you :)

    I did the same thing in the 1960's growing up in Denver. I never complained. I shoveled snow to make money (and mowed lawns also) as a kid. No one (parents, teachers, school administrators, etc.) ever gave me any break from my daily labors even though I legitimately risked injury every single day.

    Now get off my lawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! B)

    you should really consider posting more often

    If I was not so busy with other things I would post more to the Sports Forum. I need to stay away from posting too much, as it can become a bad habit that detracts from other things going on.

    Anyway, I do not have the chops/intellect/wit to keep up with high quality banter (and sometimes Smack Down) that happens on the Sports Forum :)

    your family, your friends, your work, and any other areas of interest taking a backseat to these hallowed grounds that are ripe with infinite wisdom is generally considered weak sauce and therefore frowned upon.

    please recalibrate your priorities and try harder.

    there are ways to reingratiate yourself with the masses here. e.g., sharing pictures of grandchildren and their lofty aspirations is always a heartwarming practice around these parts.

    like one wallowing in mud, training to be a wrestler.

    To answer the question, yes, out my front window. This blizzard was worse than 1977 IMO, especially for us in the Northtowns of Buffalo.

    That’s what my friends in Buffalo said. You guys just had a record snow a few weeks ago and now this.

    Hang in there - 11 weeks and it'll be the end of March and we'll be done with the majority of this stuff.

    And then the snow melts and it’s 50 degrees in April and the lake effect dumps 6” of snow on Buffalo. You wind up practicing (baseball) on a parking lot. Yeah been there done that.

    Kingvale Ca and other areas in the Sierra Nevada receive 300 to 400 or more inches of snow on average years

    of course the population is not that of a major city !!

    When I was a baseball coach in Colorado, we practiced in a parking lot many, many times.
