Huge snow update emerges before Buffalo Bills vs San Francisco 49ers as volunteers race to clear stadium

San Francisco 49ers at Buffalo Bills looks to be a game like no other on Sunday night as snow continues to fall at Highmark Stadium ahead of the late game of the day.

The NFL shared a stunning video on social media Sunday afternoon, five hours before kickoff, showing the stadium covered in snow as fans fight to clear as much of it as possible before the game starts.

As much as 16 inches has fallen in northern and western New York since Black Friday, and more will fall before the game.

There is hope, according to Foxweer on Sunday afternoon, that a band of snow from Lake Erie could drift south of Orchard Park, closer to the start of the race.

That said, they still say snow showers will hit the stadium during the game.

The Bills shared a video of trucks trying to clear snow from the field itself, the stands and the parking lot before the showdown.

Tickets, meanwhile, are down to around $68 on StubHub, with unforgiving conditions keeping some fans from attending.

If the Bills emerge victorious, they will seal their spot in the playoffs as AFC East winners.

The 49ers, meanwhile, really need to upset the odds with a win to keep their playoff hopes alive as the regular season approaches the final stretch.

Last year’s runner-up in the Super Bowl enters the game last in the NFC West with a 5-6 record.

This weekend isn’t the first time snow has threatened to disrupt a 2024 NFL game; the Browns’ recent win over the Steelers took place on a grim Monday night in Cleveland.

Nevertheless, the current snowstorm has led to parts of New York declaring a state of emergency.

A “major disaster” has been declared in Pennsylvania, with officials warning Thanksgiving travelers of dangerous conditions as they head home.

According to meteorologist Todd SantosBuffalo is expected to receive between four and eight inches of snow in the 24 hours leading up to kickoff.
