Update: According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Pittsburgh Steelers landed safely in Buffalo.
While the good people of Buffalo are concerned about how a game will take place in a town that’s been pummeled with over a foot of snow, the Pittsburgh Steelers had to be concerned about getting there.
That process began around 3 p.m. Upon their arrival, Mayor Byron Brown said the Steelers will have the support of officials to arrive safely at their hotel and tomorrow’s game.
Orchard Park has been blasted with four to six inches of snow per hour over the last 24 hours. Snow could lessen in the overnight hours to one to three inches per hour.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul said in a press conference that in-game wind chill temperatures could be near zero degrees, but weather conditions should no longer be life-threatening.
“I’m not saying it’s going to be pleasant, but conditions won’t be life-threatening,” Hochul said.
