Overtime?
I bet the Game gets canceled
Fairly certain this game will be canceled. Think they got another 2-3 feet today.
Shovels? Meh, those poor people need dozers by the score!

Andy Major, the bills’s vice-president of operations has called for bills fans — or whoever — to come and shift out the snow, aiming to get around 500 shovelers working 24/7 in triple shifts.
And apparently there’s been no shortage of takers.
A media advisory sent out wednesday said that so many calls had come in that some would-be digger-outers had been getting a message that the number wasn’t in service.
So they sent out an email address as well.
... some doubt this will even work at all.
buzzfeed estimates that if each shovelful of snow weighed 25 pounds, it would take 17,600,000 scoops to clear out the stadium.
If one person was digging at a rate of one scoop a minute, that would take about 33.5 years.
And if 500 people show up, that’s about three-and-a-half weeks to clear out it out.

This week in pictures in Buffalo, N.Y.
So pretty!
My heart goes out to the beleaguered citizens of Buffalo. Buffalo stores are rapidly running out of food staples since the roads are impassible and I'm sure at some point emergency supplies will have to be air dropped. Meanwhile they are now expecting rain in the next couple of days, so expect roof collapses all over the place to add to their woes. I hope no one ends up killed or injured.
