The snowstorm that hit Quebec City on Jan. 13, first went through the state of New York, notably Buffalo. The snowstorm forced the National Football League to postpone the wild-card playoff game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Bills, which was scheduled for Jan.14, to the next day. More than 200 Bills fans pitched in and worked overnight to shovel the snow off the field and out of the stands of Highmark Stadium. (LL)(Photo courtesy of the Buffalo Bills via Twitter)
