Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this idea for a while, and today I finally decided to put it to the test. I’m a huge Bills fan, you see, and game day weather is always a big deal. So I wanted to see if I could accurately track the temperature during their games.
First, I started to looking up the game time. I found out the game was scheduled for Sunday afternoon. Then I checked when the game will start. It said 1:00 p.m. ET, but for some game, it was 8:20 p.m. ET. I needed to figure out which game I was tracking.
Then, I started to pay attention to the location. The game would be played at Gillette Stadium in Orchard Park. That’s important because weather can vary a lot by location.
Next up, I started looking at weather reports. Most of them were saying light snow and temperatures in the high 20s. One report mentioned a wind chill of 16 degrees at 8:20 p.m. That sounds pretty cold! I wrote all of this down.
Tracking the Actual Temperature
- I started checking the temperature right around 11:00 AM, that’s when the gates open.
- I kept checking every hour, writing down the temperature and whether it was snowing or not.
I kept at it throughout the game, noting the temperature during each quarter. It was a bit of a pain, constantly checking my phone and writing things down, but I was determined!
By the end of the game, I had a pretty good record of the temperature fluctuations. The temperature actually stayed pretty consistent with the forecast. It hovered around 27 degrees for most of the game, with some light snow on and off.
So, there you have it! It wasn’t the most exciting experiment, but I proved to myself that I could accurately track the temperature during a Bills game. Maybe next time I’ll try to predict it beforehand and see how close I get. Go Bills!
