There was a very recent tweet, indicating the weather over Buffalo that has sent fans wondering whether there will be a different game this Sunday:
GFS model casually throwing out 30"+ of snow for the Buffalo area late week into the weekend. Still far too early to get overly detailed and specific. But the setup certainly appears favorable for the potential of FEET of snow downwind of Lake Erie. pic.twitter.com/SoJ76cn8qz

A fan remembers their story from the first time these teams faced off:
I was there! Luckily in a suite to avoid the elements…passed at least 25 cars that slid off I-71 on way up from cincy thru a blizzard the night before. Worst drive of my life; one of the best games (apparently) though couldn’t even see most of it

Both the Bills and the Browns fans are excited about the possibility of a second Snow Bowl.
