In my mind I just pretend. My brain is my only true friend.
Sounds like Chris Jones is getting paid for a 1-year deal to rejoin the Chiefs.

Between Buffalo looking like they’re going to be pummeled by a nor’easter and KC looking like they’ll break their coldest game ever record, perhaps a week’s break wouldn’t have been the worst idea in the NFL’s playbook.

Silver lining though, if you want to go to the KC game, it’ll likely cost you just under $100 (ticket and parking) to attempt not to get frostbite.

Not a nor'easter.

Ah seems I am mistaken then, my apologies.

The key is that nor'easters come out of the nor'east, which is to say, on the coast, they're storms that blow down from the Arctic off the Grand Banks and thus carry some of the most violent weather patterns.

Buffalo is on the Great Lakes, so it can't get those kinds of storms -- what it gets instead is what's known as "lake effect" snow. The Great Lakes are always going to be warmer than the surrounding terrain and air in winter, because they're gigantic thermal masses that don't change their temperature quickly. When wind blows the colder air across the lakes, it picks up tons of water vapor from them that rapidly turns into snow, which is then vomited all over the downwind side of the lakes --- in this case, Upstate New York. This happens on other big lakes across the world like Lake Baikal and the Great Salt Lake, and even on some bodies of water like the Sea of Japan.

Quoting because this is a fabulous explanation, thank you!
