Here's what Gov. Kathy Hochul had to say Friday afternoon ahead of the storm as she declared a state of emergency across Western New York on Friday.
"For my Buffalo Bills fans, here's the advice. If you have tickets to the game, listen to the forecast, drive safely back and forth. We don't anticipate changes right now, but stay tuned because the weather, Mother Nature, is wildly unpredictable. If you don't have a ticket, you just wanted to come out and have some fun, this might be a better day just to sit home and open up, bring out the six pack as has been advised by leaders in the past, and watch the game from home. It will be a lot safer and a lot warmer for sure," said New York Governor Kathy Hochul.
