Love the below zero stuff. Did about a half hour outside this morning. 

There’s been a lot written the last few years about the benefits of intermittently expossure to cold. Especially if you’re big into fitness. My favorite cardio is splitting wood which is great on days like today.

5 degrees here this morning, gross. 

Was -6 at my house, rose to 0 as I got to transit.

I'd have no issue with Daboll going somewhere.  I think hes overrated.  

C'mon, he just coached the first perfect game in league history...

Looks like Buffalo is going to be pivot point for next few hours

Look at that enhancement coming off the lake just to our west  

Up to a foot and still coming down in SE Clarence.

What did you do to it and what kind of metal did you use?

Was originally at late 80s toro with a 7.5 HP motor handed down by my wife’s grandfather. When the original motor threw a rod I swapped it for a 13hp harbor freight and added the battery. I changed the pulley for the auger so it spins a little faster, and recently added rubber paddles to the second stage. The lid is Ss, I had to add that to keep snow out of the carb and governor linkage. Added the autobots logo while I was at it. The distance that it can throw snow is comical. Maybe I’ll finally get some video with this storm tomorrow.

I have a relatively new monster Toro snowblower that I haven’t had much opportunity to use in the 2 years I’ve had it. I might get the chance to see how it handles sleet after this storm. 

If anyone wants tips for snowblower upgrades

NAM 3km shows freezing rain on the backside of a low pressure system. I've never seen that before. That has to be sleet right?

Is that not just really heavy snow? Hard to tell with the color scheme.

Dude you might hit on your bet!!

I was sooooo close. So fan duel let’s you cash out early based on probabilities. Going into the half they were offering a cash out of $250. In the end I lost my $25 but all I needed was a pick six at the end to win. What an amazing game.

With winds towards the end we should see some 3’ drifts.

Are you at tailgate? We should meet up for a drink!

I’m a weenie, my wife and I are tailgating at her parents indoors, heading to the game around 6.

When does the drinking start? I’m jealous. Of the drinking mostly.

One last reference to the volcano, only because I don't think the banter thread is going to get a lot of action and this is time sensitive...

That is insane. 
seems like this should be a bigger story globally. 

Wow that satellite imagery is incredible

Warning hoisted for 12-18 in WNY

I thought you guys said its going to go further SE last minute? I've been in WNY for a long time and I'd say 80% of Miller As always go further north then modeled the last 1-2 days before impact. Miller Bs have a greater tendency to go further SE.

I think we still end up being the bullseye.

How does a low follow this track?

Just doesn't seem realistic based on past experience.

 

Glitch in the matrix. Just like Sandy.

Anyone care to share some Bills game advice for tomorrow?

This will be my first in person game in many years, and my 2 daughters 11 and 13 are coming for their first game.

I think we will be dressed warm enough.

We are staying downtown next to Canalside.

I'm thinking of leaving the hotel at 1800, which should have us pulling in to Orchard Park by 6:30.

I am going to come in on Big Tree Road from the west.  We are entering the stadium through Gate 1.

Are there good places to park coming in from that direction or should I just stick with the Bills stadium lots? I was thinking Lot 1.

We don't mind a few minutes extra walking.

Is my timing right or should we be arriving in OP earlier?

Any and all suggestions appreciated.

 

 

 

 

 

The last three games the lots have been pretty empty when we've walked in 2 hours to kickoff, should have no problem parking in the stadium lots. Only downside to stadium lots is getting out after.

As far as warmth unless you're in the clubs there is no where to warm up, make sure to pack chemical warmers and mittens. 

I think your timing sounds right if you're not in the clubs. I would hang out at/in the car till maybe an hour before kickoff.
