A ferocious lake-effect storm left the Buffalo area buried under 6 feet of snow Wednesday, trapping people on highways and in homes, and another storm expected to drop 2 to 3 feet more was on its way.

The Bills have put out a call for help shoveling snow out of New Era Field ahead of Sunday’s Browns-Bills game.

The team is offering shovelers 18 or older $10 an hour starting Saturday morning for as long as it takes to clear the snow. Lunch and dinner breaks in what the team’s release calls “a comfortable warming area” will be provided.

The Bills are offering a free game ticket for anyone who shovels for four or more hours. Because if you’re already numb, why the hell not?

The team has had to go this route before, as recently as last year’s season finale. Shovelers are asked to bring their own shovels, though that’s not mandatory.

The Weather Channel forecast for Orchard Park calls for rain and warming temperatures through Saturday afternoon, but more cold and snow starting early Sunday morning.
