Footage Of Buffalo Snow, Weather Is Crazy
A massive winter storm is hammering the Northeast, and Buffalo is squarely in the crosshairs. As a result, the Bills' home playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers has been moved from Sunday at 1 p.m. to Monday at 4:30 p.m. Based on the footage we've seen of the weather there, it seems like the right decision.
Videos and pictures of the storm hitting Buffalo is staggering, and it even includes thunder and lightning. We've posted some below.

UPDATE: this is how quickly the conditions can change here in Buffalo. Wind has picked up significantly, snow is sticking on the roads and if you are facing the wrong direction, you will get hurt. pic.twitter.com/PtrSFeB83K

Blowing snow in North Buffalo is making for dicey driving conditions.

Alerts just pushed to phones. Winds are picking up and conditions are getting downright nasty in Orchard Park, #NY
The portapotties don’t stand a chance.
The #Buffalo #Bills are paying fans $20/hour to help shovel snow at Highmark Stadium starting at 8am pic.twitter.com/RSH7Xls9Vm
4pm: 1/2 mi visibility at best in downtown #Buffalo in snow and blowing snow outside of @WKBW. Frequent 50mph gusts this afternoon with a peak so far to 66 mph. The most rugged conditions so far that I’ve seen today. Several more hours to go. #WNY #WX pic.twitter.com/VmgY6IjJPs

Yeah, pretty sure it would be unsafe for people to be driving in that. The NFL and the state of New York made the right decision pushing the game back and preventing a disaster on the roads. It's currently projected to snow through Thursday in Buffalo, but it should be much calmer on Monday when the game is now scheduled to be played.
The 11-6 Bills won the AFC East and will host the 10-7 Steelers. Buffalo is currently favored by 9.5 points.
