why would anyone live in Buffalo? (1 Viewer)

Apparently the Bills are offering tickets to this weekend's game (if it's held) and $10 an hour to anyone willing to come to the stadium and help remove snow.

On a related note, they are also offering $15 an hour to anyone willing to come to the stadium and play QB.

And an additional offering of $10 an hour for anyone to come and watch the Bills/Jets game.

 
to avoid hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and soul-crushing heat/humidity during the summer months?

not to mention an extremely cheap cost of living I guess.

I spent some time there on a contract with Citibank. This was in the late 90's. Everyone dressed like it was the mid 80's. There were some nice people, but God it was depressing having come right out of college and then having moved to DC to have to fly to Buffalo every week. :yucky:

Anyway, to answer your question: I have no idea.

None of that comes remotely close to 7 feet of snow in a week.

That's going to be a big problem, right? I saw the temp is supposed to be up around 50 this weekend. How bad will the flooding get?

Think of it as a much needed cleansing.

The exact amount of snow fell on an identical building with the same number of people on the roof in Austria in February. http://www.onthesnow.com/gallery/p/photo/982/nassfeld-in-feb-2014-id157733

Had one on my last trip at the freakin' CONVENTION CENTER that was better than most any other roast beef sammich you'll find, anywhere.

ETA: While the Beef on Weck was awesome, what a dump of a convention center. Oof. One escalator going up OR down? I don't even think the place was accessible.

I hate when the Internet lies to me. There's no trust in this world
 
:lmao: have dealt with this all my life ... of course the weather isn't always great here but very few places it is ... but I ski and snowmobile in the Winter, the Summer's rule next to one of the largest fresh water lakes in the world, the Fall is the best season, and the cost of living beats most large cities around the country ... and Cleveland is a lot like Buffalo ... makes me :lol: when others judge how bad my city is ... it's pathetic really

 
It's very close to Niagra Falls and Canada so it has that going for it. I was there for 3 days and liked my time there. I liked it better when I got on a plane to get the hell out of there, but.....

I live about 45 mins outside Buffalo and work in the city. Schools have been closed since Monday so I've been home all week. Sunny and dusting of snow where I live. It's really crazy the snow they got hammered with...doors and windows collapsing inwards from the pressure of the snow, cars completely buried, some buildings collapsing from weight of snow on roof. It was actually two distinct lake effect snowstorms, with like a 1 day break in between them. I have coworkers who could only exit their home through a window.Still, this is like a once in a lifetime, historical event. (Or twice in my lifetime for those who remember the Blizzard of '77). While we do get some freaky weather, ice storms, 60 degree temperature swings in 24 hours, snowstorms of varying intensity, I personally like the weather here. 4 distinct seasons, tolerable and typically very nice summers, beautiful falls, and no wildfires, tornadoes, earthquakes, or hurricanes.

Many of the comments regarding the area are accurate-it is rust belt, blue collar (and where I live, conservative rednecky). I know that it seems I hear music from Toronto radio that doesn't show up on Buffalo stations until 6-9 months later. And they are very passionate about the Bills and Sabres here, which is kind of cool though I'm a fan of neither.

It sometimes seems to me that the snowstorm/Buffalo connection must be overrated-despite this recent monster storm. It can't be better in a place like-for example-Minnesota or North Dakota can it?

Eta we also don't have any nasty critters like giant poisonous caterpillars, venomous or horrifically large snakes of nasty disposition, scorpions, red ants, lizards crawling up and down our walls, poisonous spiders (other than the occasional brown recluse that hitches a ride here), alligators (or is it crocodiles?), killer bees, or anything else I'm forgetting.

Yup. I've lived in FL 30 miles from the coast for 20 years... Summertime thunderstorms are usually more intense than any hurricane I've seen first hand. I'll take thunderstorms over snow every time. And I'll take 95+ degrees in summer to have 70 degrees in Winter.

*I also lived in Michigan for 11 years, so I'm authorized to comment on what it's like in both climates.

I'm inclined to agree but the humidity here sucks. 22 years in Detroit :bowtie:

at times I think about going back. Then I sober up.

We used to have to close the wave pool because it was too cold. In august.

Good place to grow up. All four seasons, none of the other natural disasters, near a Lake, near Canada with a lower drinking age and world class city in Toronto, you can take people to the Falls. It's really pretty nice, just not a lot of jobs the last 30 years. That seems to be turning around though.

Buffalo gets almost twice as much snowfall yearly as central Minnesota.
