In Buffalo, what you don’t see on TV is the army of caretakers on the sidelines with squeegee-like tools that run out after every few plays and clear the snow off the lines on the field.
It’s sort of like the sign boards behind home plate at a MLB baseball game. In person, they are often a plain green panel but on TV you see an ad for something projected there. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
I have lived in New England my entire life and while I have learned to tolerate the snow (we don’t get nearly the amount of snow that Buffalo does), especially since we are so close to the ocean, as I get older I find myself spending more and more time in warmer climates like Arizona or the Bahamas…

I did my training after basic at Ft. Devans. Was there 4-5 months as I recall (very early 70s). We lived in an apartment in Fitchburg; that is the missus, our #1 kiddo and myself. When leaving before going overseas we packed up a small U-Haul trailer and hitched it to my Dodge Demon and headed west out of Massachusetts into a huge snow storm. I had no snow tires and little money. We stayed at a motel in western Mass. for a couple days and they took my gas credit card as collateral and I paid them back when the Army decided to pay me. That place was wonderful and it might have been because I was with a scared young girl (missus), a tiny baby (she was born in FT. Devans hospital) and a stupid kid in a military uniform. What a sight we must have been... in any case, we survived but today snow is not my friend.
