Buffalo is not new England.

In CT, we had a sunny day with temps in the high 20's. Luckily, the morons running our office tower decided it would be the perfect day to have a fire drill. Walking down 13 floors to stand in the cold is fantastic.

Of course I meant the northeast.

They should plow the Bills field unevenly. Completely clear between the hashes. Then leave the snowbanks gradually deeper as they reach the sidelines, something like 18 inches deep at the sidelines. Make the players really work to get outside. It would be a memorable game.

Before you get tropey, you do understand that the world is on average warmer but because it snows sometimes doesn't invalidate that?

P.S. Scientific consensus in the 60s in 70s was not global cooling. That was the news being as dumb as it always has been. Don't try to rewrite history.

I encourage anyone to look their favorite myths up on this page here and read the sourced scientific explanations as opposed to wordpress blogs shouting conspiracy and pseudo science.

Yeah, and they put temperature gauges next to A/C compressors and in the middle of Texas parking lots, and then say it was cooler before there was an A/C compressor there and before the ground was paved over. And then there's evidence of a hotter sun according to some scientists. When I was growing up scientists were predicting that the hole in the ozone layer was going to cause all the oxygen to leak out into space. They were predicting that the Polar Ice caps were so thick that they might change the axis of the earth. So drive your Prius, loud and proud.

I got your back LA. I read it as northeast instead of New England due to the use of "the" before NE. The northeast made sense, but New England did not.

Now lets return to talking about the weather or conference realignments or anything other than global climate change .... or this abysmal season :(

Yeah! And they used to say the earth was a bowl with the sun, then then we were just a flat plane, and now we are supposed to be a big round spinning ball? Ridiculous. Wouldn't water in a glass lean to the side like in a turning car? Some spinning ball.

My sister lives in upstate New York, she hasnt been able to leave the house for two days because its a "white out" outside. Swirling snow so thick visibility is about 3 feet. If you were in a car, you wouldnt be able to see your own headlights. The Syracuse area averages about 10 feet of snow each year, this year they are predicting as much as 14 feet.

Buffalo gets hit the hardest because its in between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Wind blows water off the lakes, it freezes in the atmosphere, and falls back down as snow.
