Yup for the first time in the four weeks I've been watching the forecasts we have a mostly sunny call here, too. Granted the one I've mainly been watching has been Accuweather, which has had "clouds giving way to sun" from the git go (but just turned to partial sunshine apparently today).
Semantics.

I was at this game and this moment has always stuck with me. Bills fans spent a decade scared and wondering what would happen to the Bills when an aging Ralph Wilson passed.
Terry's first words to a cheering packed house were "OK guys, that's enough". It was a very heavy wet blanket for us in our section.
https://www.buffalobills.com/video/watch-terry-pegula-on-field-ceremony-13989551On Rick's night he was very anxious for the crowd to shut up. The crowd wouldn't. He even looked over at Kim who must have said something like, "Just talk, they'll stop." You could easily read his lips. "They won't." I do wonder if getting booed on that night was the last straw for Terry as benevolent owner.

I know it is a once in a 100 years event, but all these viewing parties, stores closing, schools shutdown, daily non-stop talk about it on the news…can’t wait for it to be over.
I will be standing in my backyard, or even just watching through my living room patio door. Woohoo…it will go from light to dark to light, kind of like what it does every day.
It's like a Sabres game. What happens on the ice usually takes a back seat to maybe my urchin will be on the video board.

We also know the Sabres are ham handed in their PR. Terry is getting terrible advice from someone about not speaking out about the team. Into that vacuum flows lots of terrible assumptions about him. Unless there's a wild card reason he won't speak (dementia for example), it really doesn't make any sense. Usually one would say we don't need to hear from the owner. This is an extraordinary situation. That said he made a terrible joke referencing the mayor's skin color and perhaps got burned making a racist comment to a reporter at a dinner party. He also had pretty loose lips in his early days as owner. The Leino quip Mango mentions was made when he called into WGR while out driving with his dog (Sidney, yuck). So maybe he just vowed to shut up. He hates the media too. Still... Talk to us, TP.

From the local NWS office's "forecast discussion":
While beyond our normal 7-day forecast...The highly anticipated 2024 Solar Eclipse will occur Monday, April 8th in the afternoon. Model and ensemble guidance continue to suggest dry weather for Monday with high pressure surface and aloft over the eastern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley, however it is FAR too early to forecast cloud cover with any confidence or reliability.
You just don't listen to me anymore.

NT mentioned it's clear in WNY. My part of PA is socked in by clouds. I think this phenomenon is what I was asking about in the initial post...

Honest question—in terms of % of annual income who spends more on the Sabres the average season ticket holder or Pegula?
Terry Pegula spending $20M of his own money on an asset that has more than doubled in value isn’t some noble expenditure, especially when he’s got a $6.1B net worth.
Do not fear and loathe the rich!

Just over a week out the forecast looks tantalizingly good for WNY WPA.

Last season ended with hope. This season is ending in a complete pit of hopeless despair.
I wouldn't go that far. UPL's emergence is huge. They desperately need a new coach and staff at minimum.

I’m sure change from savior to hated absentee owner must be quite perplexing for Pegs. The guy has dropped a but ton of money into the sabres over the last 13. He hired experienced guys, and they failed. Now he has inexperienced guys he knows and they aren’t getting it done fast enough. He plans a partnership with his wife and catastrophe strikes. I don’t see an uncaring man. I see a guy who has tried to do well by Buffalo and the Sabres are the one horror among many successes. I don’t minimize it but, assassinating his character because he feels the need to make money while owning sports teams is garbage. I’m a thousandaire, and I value money, watch what I spend. No doubt it is the same for him. How about we don’t assume that we know this guy just because he has some bucks. Personally I hate class warfare I hear on these pages sometimes.
What experienced guys?

Well let's get on it. I'm not up to date with anything horse racing.
It's not until May 4. But I have my eye on Alex's Tuch.

That reminds me that we need a new Sabres themed Kentucky Derby horse naming thread.

Brian Koziol was great last night after the game, openly questioning on the air whether maybe all TP cared about was that the arena was full, and didn’t care about which team they were cheering for.
That's old news. Mike Gilbert let it slip that time. The Sabres love Southern Ontario Leaf fans. Direct quote. SDS even interviewed him about it.
-
No one can say what he thinks. We CAN objectively say he doesn't care about communicating with the fans. The VP of tix got some quotes for the season ticket holder... sorry, season ticket member... letter. The rest of us? Zippo.

You don't announce the goal total in the announcement. Hash tag common sense. Take the league fine if there would be one.

Sabres at least have their excuse ready. Back to back was there but ran into a hot goalie is better.

Will Buffalo be a good place to see the total eclipse of the sun?

Actually this forecast from the feds fits nicely into my long held belief that the government forecast is a psych ops deal wherein the masses are motivated to keep workin for the weekend and to not off themselves. The actual weather in the next few days will be downright depressing for this time of year. But hold on, folks. Here comes the sun after that. Bad news for eclipsers: it usually doesn't come in a forecast like this.
