The Buffalo Bills have already seen their fair share of snow during the 2022 NFL season.
Buffalo was forced to move its Week 11 home game against the Cleveland Browns from Highmark Stadium to Ford Field in Detroit due to a massive blizzard.
That storm brought more than four feet of snow and required the entire city of Buffalo to help dig out Bills players just so that they could get to the airport. There was a serious concern that the storm would be so large that players would be stuck in their houses and the league would have to postpone the game.
Instead, Buffalo players made it to Detroit and picked up a 31-23 victory over the Browns. And the Bills’ social media team turned the chaos into a really cool behind-the-scenes video.
That was that, right? Wrong.
As it turns out, the Bills had to prepare to do it all again. The city of Buffalo expected up to two feet of snow ahead of Saturday’s game between the Bills and the Miami Dolphins. Though Dolphins coach and Denver native Mike McDaniel seemed unphased by the weather report.
Maybe McDaniel was onto something…
Football Fans Are Not Happy With The Lack Of Snow For Bills-Dolphins
While the Buffalo area did see a decent amount of snowfall, it wasn’t enough to affect the game between Buffalo and Miami. By the time NFL Network began its broadcast, the field at Highmark Stadium appeared untouched.
There’s nothing football fans love more than a snow game. So they had quite the reaction when the game started and there was no snow in sight.

But that didn’t stop NFL Network from hyping up the storm on its broadcast.
It’s 31 degrees in Buffalo. Not really all that cold. They are hyping it up like it’s -7.

Which just made fans even more upset.
Only 7mph wind. It could snow hard but right now they are in the clear. It was supposed to snow. The last snow game they moved to Detroit.. pretty lame.

I was told there would be EPIC snow.
Where is the snow.

Maybe it’s time for the Bills to invest in some snow machines, because this isn’t gonna cut it.
