Not only is Buffalo well-versed in huge snowstorms, but the  whole Buffalo metro area also has over 1 million people, which is 3 times more people than all of the U.P. combined even though the U.P. is 10 times larger in size.  Despite having many more resources, I think they have a lot more to deal with in regards to the effects of this storm in Buffalo than any place in the U.P. could ever imagine.

Go east of Marquette (Munising and beyond), northwest of Marquette (Huron Mtns. or Keweenaw) and the snow totals increase substantially.  250"+ has been broached many times over the past 10 years in these locations.  But 72/250 is still a shit-ton of snow percentage for one storm (30%), so your point still stands!

and have a good back the Bills are offering to pay people $10.00/hr to help shovel out thier stadiums. If I was in college, I would make the trip and work as much as possible to earn a few hundered dollars!

have photos taken of themselves posing with scantily-clad women who could be their daughters?

 I suspect it's these men saying "Hey, I still got it.Why just look at me with these babes! I could TOTALLY give em' a ride on the bone rollercoaster if I wanted to."

are big Michigan fans, the one on my left was our (me and my wife's) waitress and her sister  thought it was neat to have a Michigan fan at their sports bar, since this sports bar is far from Michigan. When I told them I graduated from Michigan they wanted their picture with me. As I was standing there, two of their friends, who were waitresses jumped in the picture. My wife took one picture for both of the girls who are Michigan fans and my wife took this picture.

I think it was more an extremely pathetic move than a dick move.  How low do you have to be to ask, before the game, for your team to carry you off the field if you win (while in a demoted role), against the team that fired you because you sucked as a head coach?

As we have seen before, if you're playing as it is snowing ,you tend to go with your ground game more often than not, but since it has already fallen in this photo, you may just need to pass all day unless your RB happens to BE a road commission plow. I guess it would depend on which aspect of your offense you felt more comfortable deploying for 60-ish snaps.

You know what we call that here in the UP?   When that much snows falls in a couple of days?

I'll tell you what we call it.

A fucking light dusting that's what we call it.  And here's a picture from the front of my house in the UP and I took it LAST AUGUST right before I went swimming you pansy-asses

For those of you who know the area, my friend tells me that Transit Avenue has been closed for three days. That's a huge road that runs through a bunch of suburbs (and near the Stadium and Airport). He also just sent me this:

I'm in South Buffalo. If any wants to let me know how to posts pics from my phone I'll show you how fucked we are. It's not that anyone should be freaking out and I think the media is blowing it out of proportion but it's so much snow in such a short amount of time. I don't know about the UP so I'm not gonna compare it to Buffalo but I've lived here my whole life and I've never seen anything like this. This amount of snow? Yes. This amount in this short of time? Never. People who are dying, and I mean no disrespect to the deceased, are probably too out of shape and acting in a very stupid way, or else they are mentally handicapped and end up sleeping outside and not making it. We hadn't been able to get our front door or side door open for 48 hours and finally got the side door open yesterday. I would go help dig out Ralph Wilson Stadium if I could but even if I dug up my car there are still no roads to travel from South Buffalo to Orchard Park, which usually takes about 10 minutes. Personally, I'm waiting for the warm up before I start busting my hump to move snow. This could go from the north pole to a swamp very quickly.

6-7 feet of snow in a few days is absurd, no doubt.

The most I've ever seen at once was several years back while in Utah for a ski trip. I was staying down in SLC, but overnight, they got 40+ inches in the Cottonwood Canyons where the resorts are. However, you've still got to drive like 10 miles through the mountains to get up there. So I wasn't sure if I'd be able to make it in the little, compact Toyota I rented.

But to my surprise, those roads were pristine. It seemed as if they hadn't gotten any snow, let alone 3-4 feet. Gotta say, those people in Utah sure as hell know how to plow.

took my wife and kids to the giants vikings game years ago.  Had a great time.

We are Eli fans here, so that helped.  I can't say I give a fuck about anyone on buffalo or the jets but I will still go.
