"Game time on Monday, weather conditions will be very cold. They'll be in the teens, and even wind-chill factors as low as zero, maybe to 9 degrees, but that's going to be very, very cold," Hochul said at a news conference on Sunday. "But this will be without the danger of the winds and the blinding snow and the hazardous traffic conditions for those as they traveled to the stadium or leaving based on current predictions."

"So, that is a better dynamic, by far better dynamic, than we would've had today. I'm not saying it's going to be pleasant, but conditions won't be life-threatening either."

Hochul posted a video of what the Bills' hometown of Orchard Park, New York, looked like at game time.
