From the Vista National Newswire:
How much snow is too much? How about snow taller than most people?
So it goes at the NFL’s Buffalo Bills stadium, where 77 inches was recorded, the equivalent of 6′ 5″, as tall as the team’s quarterback, Josh Allen.
The snow part of a lengthy snowsquall pushing hard into Buffalo and area off of Lake Erie.
Sooooo, we got some snow. 😅@news4buffalo | #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/BLxfTTPwUD
