ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — After U.S. travelers battled through harsh weekend weather to reach home following the Thanksgiving holiday, residents of the Great Lakes region face the prospect of more snow through the week, forecasters said.
Lake-effect snow is caused by warm, moist air blowing across a body of water and mixing with colder, drier air, creating narrow bands of often heavy snow on land.Flinty fans scoffed at the flurries and numbing temperatures during Sunday’s nighttime NFL game in Buffalo, New York, against the San Francisco 49ers.
Tim LoTemple, a Bills season-ticket holder from Rochester, New York, and part of the team’s rabid fan base known as “Bills Mafia,” said the freezing temperatures and snow energize the players and fans. Still, the 49ers game was practically temperate compared to previous matchups at Highmark Stadium. “Only thing I didn’t prepare for was shoes. I double up on everything else, but my feet are cold,” he said. “Mad respect for anybody who comes out. Anybody can sit at home, comfy in their chair to watch this game.”
There were 27 inches of snow northeast of Ironwood, in the Upper Peninsula’s western reaches. More than a foot could fall over the eastern Upper Peninsula through Monday morning, Chapman said Saturday.
