Roofs began to creak and collapse under the weight as another storm brought the Buffalo area’s three-day snowfall total Thursday to an epic 6 feet or more, with more still coming down.
The NFL moved Sunday’s Buffalo Bills-New York Jets game to Ford Field in Detroit.
"Public safety resources in western New York must be fully available to deal with the recovery from the storm," the league said in a statement Thursday night. "We continue our discussions with the team and the Red Cross on ways the NFL can support the community through this weather disaster."
The seats and field of the Bills’ stadium south of Buffalo remained buried in snow. Many roads are impassable, and a driving ban remained in place in many communities. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was among those urging the game to be postponed, moved or canceled.
