Buffalo Bills Re-Up Call For Help Shoveling Blanket Of Snow So NFL Game Can Proceed – MyCyberBase
Topline
The Buffalo Bills renewed their call for help shoveling the NFL team’s stadium ahead of their wild-card game Monday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, as the city grapples with nearly a foot of snow.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul initially postponed the wild-card game due to severe weather conditions … [+]
Key Facts
The Bills posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Monday morning asking for “shovelers to help get Highmark Stadium ready” for the upcoming game, after the matchup was postponed Sunday as the National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning cautioning up to three feet of snow and winds reaching 50 miles per hour.
Images of the stadium posted to social media Monday show seats covered in snow and the football field equally engulfed.
On Friday, the Bills began offering local fans $20 an hour and free food for help shoveling Highmark Stadium ahead of the wild-card game.
What To Watch For
Images and videos show the stadium still covered in snow, leaving some wondering if the game will proceed as planned Monday. On Sunday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said the game would not be pushed back again. “We have up until the fans start coming to the stadium later in the afternoon,” Hochul told reporters Sunday, according to USA Today. “If it was a morning game, it would be a little tougher, but a 4:30 game gives us that time.” Hochul noted it wasn’t going to be a “sunny, warm day,” but said “it’s nothing we can’t deal with.” Given the weather outlook for the week—the National Weather Service is warning eight to 16 more inches of snow are headed to the region from Tuesday to Thursday—it would likely be difficult to postpone the game again given the NFL’s compact end of season schedule.
Big Number
8 inches. That’s how much snow fell at Buffalo Airport Sunday, breaking the daily record of 7.8 inches that was set 60 years ago, the National Weather Service Buffalo said.
Tangent
On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Miami Dolphins at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City in treacherous winter conditions. The temperature as the teams took the field was minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit and players worked against gusty winds. At one point, the helmet of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes cracked, which he attributed to the cold.
