Such snow bands occur when cold air blows over the relatively warm water of a lake picking up moisture, and dumping it as snow in downwind areas (h/t to Mashableweather wizard Andrew Freedman). Buffalo, unsurprisingly, is one of the most lake effect prone cities in the U.S., due to to its proximity to Lake Erie.

But it's Sunday, folks, and there's football to be played.

The city's NFL squad, the Bills, host the Indianapolis Colts in a snow bowl that won't soon be forgotten, even though the teams are having subpar (the Bills) and awful (the Colts) seasons.

As a former cold-weather region football player myself, it warms my heart to see many of the players taking to the elements sans-sleeves. It's insane, but it's just one of those things football players do.

But it's not just the players out there braving the elements. Those intrepid, faithful fans are just as insanededicated, and should be commended for their efforts.

A more apt comparison: Westeros' North Wall, the snowiest section of the realm in Game of Thrones. Nice reference, Bills Twitter.

Meanwhile, the two teams are actually trying to play. The snow isn't making that any easier.
