Buffalo Hit With Crazy Wind and Snow Before Bills-Patriots Game
The New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills will face off in a huge Monday Night Football game with big-time implications in the AFC East. And from what we're seeing at this time, it could be a crazy one. The wind and weather in Orchard Park, NY is absolutely insane in the hours before kickoff.
The weather has been bad all day but, as we inch closer to kickoff it's gotten even more nuts:

About 3 hours from Monday Night Football kickoff on WCVB -- and yes, it's so windy, the field goal posts are moving. Wind gusts in Buffalo have reached nearly 50 mph in the last hour, with snow squalls at times. pic.twitter.com/h2V7rqFTLW

The wind is so bad ESPN has removed SkyCam from tonight's game:
ESPN has removed the SkyCam for tonight's game because of the wind. Not sure if they plan on putting it back up, but I doubt it.

We'll see what the weather is like at kickoff, but this is looking like a terrible situation for both teams to throw the ball in. We might get some grind-it-out December football.
