— Sabres PR (@SabresPR) January 7, 2014 Weather.com projects that Buffalo will experience snow showers all day with potential for four-eight inches of accumulated snow fall. In addition, the service warns that intense winds might cause power outages throughout the area. At the very least, these conditions were intense enough that the NHL opted to postpone the contest.
