As the holiday season approaches, the Buffalo Bills are gearing up for a snowy showdown at their Highmark Stadium. The San Francisco 49ers, last year's Super Bowl runner-up, are set to face off against the Bills in Week 13's edition of Sunday Night Football. However, the weather may prove to be just as challenging as the opposing team.
Meteorologists are predicting a significant snowfall of two to three feet at the stadium, with the most likely scenario being 20-30 inches of snow. Temperatures are expected to plummet to around 28 degrees Fahrenheit on Sunday night, with a wind chill of 19 degrees Fahrenheit. Wind speeds ahead of the game are forecasted to reach around 15 mph.
To ensure that the stands and surrounding areas are ready for gameday, the Bills are once again reaching out to their loyal fans for assistance. Individuals over the age of 18 who are willing to help clear snow will be compensated at a rate of $20 per hour. In addition, volunteers will receive hot food and drinks, as well as shovels for the task at hand.
The Buffalo Bills are no strangers to playing in frigid conditions, having triumphed over the Pittsburgh Steelers in last season's Wild Card round amidst a snow-covered Highmark Stadium. Fans, known as the Bills Mafia, have shown their dedication by celebrating touchdowns with snow tosses into the air.
With superstar quarterback Josh Allen leading the charge, the Bills have been a dominant force in the NFL this season, boasting an impressive 9-2 record heading into Week 13. Following the Miami Dolphins' recent loss to the Green Bay Packers, the Bills have the opportunity to clinch the AFC East division with a victory on Sunday.
