You could build a 70-foot-tall snowman with all the snow on the Buffalo Bills' football field. Math professor Anna Szczepanek has a tool she created called the Snowman Calculator that can calculate just how large of a snowman you can build with all that snow that just fell. A spotter at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park reported a snow total of 47.5 inches as of early Friday afternoon – just a tick under 4 feet. If we only clear off the playable surface of the football field – 120 yards long, including the end zones and 53.3 yards wide, we get a playing surface of 6,400 square yards. According to Szczepanek's calculator, if you want to build a traditional 3-ball snowman with a base, middle and head in a 3:2:1 ratio, and you assume fresh snow, and you can use all of the 4 feet of snow on the ground, you could create one massive snowman. It would end up 70 feet tall. 📷 Buffalo Bills #buffalo #buffalobills #billsmafia #highmarkstadium #snow #snowstorm #newyork
