Here in Buffalo, the weather really isn’t that bad. We don’t have any earthquakes, we don’t get any hurricanes, and there are never mudslides or tornadoes. We just get a little bit of snow, that’s all. Sometimes we get that little bit of snow all at once. I mean, who doesn’t remember the Blizzard of [...]

Sure, the temperatures have dropped to be more March-like (I don’t care if we’re still “above average”), but I am yearning for the 80-degree days. This past week was awesome. Awesome. Of course, that didn’t stop the complainers. My mom, for example, told me it was “too hot.” Really? Too hot? Sure, it was hot, [...]

While we’re sure the money had something do to with the team’s free agent signings of Mario Williams and Mark Anderson, we’re also sure the recent local weather didn’t hurt. One of the biggest hurdles the Bills, Sabres, and any Buffalo based business faces is their own city’s perception among those from other parts of [...]

Really, More Snow…WTF?!?

Brad Hohman — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 23:54:46 +0000

Its been nearly two months since that little rodent Punxsutawney Phil popped out of his stump and told us all that it would be an early spring. Hey, he had a 50/50 shot at getting it right...it looks like he is a typical weatherman. In fact, in the 125 years he has been predicting the start of spring, he has only been correct 39% of the time.
