I have lived in a few NFL cities and witnessed their teams training camps....49ers (Rockin, CA), Seahawks (Renton, WA), Vikings (Mankato, MN)....this never happened there. 35,000 showed up for practice for the Bills.

The biggest one day snowfall in the state of New York, not the United States, is likely to be set in Orchard Park tonight.

1) Kevin O'Neill is easily the most handsome member of StormTeam2. What an asset he is to WGRZ and Western NY.
2) Note to self: don't leave my Twitter page open on the weather office computer. People can just type whatever they want.

Buffalo and Bills snow questions answered. All
1. Snow is coming to Orchard Park.
2. Duration and intensity, to be determined.
3. Phone apps do not work in this situation
4. Trust your local source. All media mets in Buf know what they're talking about...trust them.

Chicago potentially shuts down on Friday due to a blizzard. It is going to be hard for anybody planning to go to the Bills game and for the Buffalo Bills themselves getting to Chicago Friday via air .

For all things weather and LAKE EFFECT talk, he turned to the authority: Chief Meteorologist at WGRZ in Buffalo,

Ingredients are coming together for lake effect snows this weekend. Amounts and location of heaviest snow to be figured out however Orchard Park and the Southtowns could be the target zone.

There is a growing potential for heavy lake effect snow later this week, Late Erie is at a record high temperature (55°) and plenty of cold air will flow across it for a prolonged period. This could be a higher impact snow. Stay tuned.

Yes, this could be the strongest storm this area has seen in a generation. Low pressure records will be set with very high impacts. Wind gusts ton over 65 miles an hour with zero visibility. I would call that a storm.

Navigating Wegmans with your mother-in-law who’s never been to a Wegmans requires next level patience. Yes it’s Thursday but someone may need to tell me if the Bills beat the Jets.

Snowfall potential with the focus right over Buffalo. These totals are concerning given the amount of wind and cold that come with it. This is only through Christmas Eve . 30-40"

This is the latest thinking of where a lake snow band sets up Saturday evening. It looks like it splitting the uprights at Highmark Stadium.

On behalf of all of us who are relatively new Bills fans, a huge salute to life longer’s who have achieved something 25 years in the making tonight . I grew up in San Francisco, with the Montana\Walsh vibe, this is far better.

It has snowing for 20 straight hours in Buffalo. It may go as high as 36 straight hours or higher. (maybe we should keep that to ourselves)
