It must be the holiday season when the Buffalo Bills ask their fans to help clear snow at the team’s Highmark Stadium.

Last year’s Super Bowl runners-up, the San Francisco 49ers, will travel to Buffalo for Week 13 of Sunday Night Football, but the elements can pose as much trouble as the opposing team.

According to meteorologists 2 to 3 feet of snow could fall on the stadium, with 20 to 30 inches of snowfall most likely. Forecasts show temperatures will drop to around 28 degrees Fahrenheit Sunday evening, with a wind chill of 19 degrees Fahrenheit. Wind speeds before the game will reach approximately 15 mph.

To prepare the stands and areas around the stadium for game day, the Bills are once again asking for the help of their fans. Anyone over 18 years of age who feels up to the task will receive an hourly rate of $20 and will be provided with hot food and drinks and a shovel for clearing snow.

The Bills are used to playing in icy conditions and defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card playoff round last season, with Highmark Stadium once again covered in snow. Fans who braved the cold celebrated by throwing snow into the air after every touchdown.

Led by superstar quarterback Josh Allen, Buffalo has been one of the best teams in the NFL this season and has a 9-2 record heading into Week 13. After the Miami Dolphins were beaten 30-17 by the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving, the Bills can clinch the AFC East Division with a win on Sunday.
