The sun was shining Monday on Highmark Stadium, where the green artificial turf was cleared of snow but the stands were still covered in a white blanket some five hours before the Bills host the Pittsburgh Steelers in the storm-delayed AFC wild-card playoff game.
The remnants of the lake-effect snow band that dumped more than 2 feet of snow on the Bills' home in suburban Orchard Park moved north toward Buffalo, allowing for a large crew of shovelers — volunteers being paid $20 an hour — and a fleet of front-load tractors to clear the facility.
