Yes, but isn't the first snow game of the year usually in denver anyway? The elevation is so high there.Denver not Green Bay or Buffalo?

I didn't really understand either of those posts.huh?Yes, but isn't the first one in denver anyway? The elevation is so high there.Denver not Green Bay or Buffalo?
I'm out of the loop - who the heck is Dookie?
"Dump Truck" Davenport
east coast bias.
The weather in Denver on average is warmer and sunnier in the winter than in NY. Yes, they get more snow storms off of the mountains, but they have something like ~ 300 days of sunshine and many days of 50/60 degree weather in Jan/Feb in between the occassional foot of snow that is dumped on the city
He was arrested back in college at the U for breaking into a woman's apartment and taking a dump on her carpet. Hence...Dookie!
GB = East Coast
I believe the snowiest city in the US is Syracuse. Being 150 miles due west of Cuse, I would have to go with Buffalo. Buddy of mine lives in Minneapolis and he said they don't get all that much snow. That a lot of times it's too cold to snow in that there just isn't any moisture in the air. I think GB is in a similar situation...For purposes of historical accuracy, I believe the dump in question actually was taken in a laundry basket in the women's dorm room closet. But we digress...
Wasted thread. We should continue this on the weather.com forums
Many of the snowiest cities in the US are downwind of the Great Lakes, where lake effect snow can pile on pretty quickly. Typically though, lake effect snows don't start kicking up until later in November. But as to how early the first snow is, Denver's average is October 19th. I couldn't find that data on Buffalo or Green Bay, but the average date for International Falls, MN is October 20th, so I imagine that Denver would historically have the first snowfall between the three.Here are the top 15 snowiest places in the U.S. (minus Alaska):GB = East Coast

We average 250+ inches of snow a year here....two hours west of marquette, mi and 4 hours north of Lambeau.

weather
Reason being???
...with the 1 cut run game i would think even against the Steelers he could do well (i know,wishful thinking)
You live in Boynton Beach, Florida....its not cold there.
Fixed.
K let me rephrase. Historically games played in the snow means don't start your QBs?
I can't think of a good reason to start Cutler this week even if it was 85 and sunny. He's been steadily regressing without Walker and the Steelers' defense is tough. In my opinion, he's a poor start this week regardless of the weather. If the weather becomes a concern it just makes him even worse. Honestly, I could see him throwing for about 150 yards and 0 TDs. I have a feeling the Broncos are going to get the living s**t beat out of them Sunday night.
Thanks for the replies. Well here's to living and dying with Cutler this weekend in the snow! Maybe it will snow so bad that he won't get picked and give me negative points!
Does the weather report for GB or Buf call for snow for this weekends games? If not then I would say that Denver has the best chance at being the first snow game.Denver not Green Bay or Buffalo?
Care to explain why.
Gotcha - thanks.I'm liking the sound of snow, as I need to rely on Dookie with LT on a bye."Dump Truck" Davenport
Because it will make DTs slip and fall letting FWP walk by them for 60 yrd TDs.
How does that make it better for Davenpoop and not so much for FWP?
Agreed. As a Holmes owner, I was already a bit pessimistic about the prospect of starting him against Denver's passing D, but combine that with snow and his upside this week seems very limited. Personally, in my PPR league I'm sending him to the pine in favor of Kevin Walter as my WR3. As risky as it sounds, Walter is probably good for a solid to great game in Andre Johnson's absence while Holmes range is probably a lot wider (from terrible to great) this week.
Shhhhhh! It's not true! The weather sucks here! Stay away!
ummmmmm... I think - and I could be wrong -- Pigskins was being humorous.I can't explain the first post quoted tho.
I would say if Denver is "supposed" to be used to this, then Pittsburgh "should be" used to this as well.
I'm guessing he thinks that FWP is all about finesse and no power, and that Davenpoop will run the ball better with the power running game in the snow. He is wrong, but that is my guess.
it can get downright frigid here. I think we saw lows in the mid 40's last year. Jacket weather for sure!You live in Boynton Beach, Florida....its not cold there.
Wind is the most important factor in the passing game.
