T.J. Graham remembers it ever so vividly. In fact, it brings a smile to his face when he thinks about the first time he encountered the vaunted Buffalo snow. 

Born and raised in North Carolina, Graham had never experienced more than flurries. So, after being drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft, he had quite the surprised when he fell asleep a wintery Sunday evening, then woke up Monday to more than three feet on the ground.


 

"I came outside of my garage," Graham said, laughing. "You know how you can normally see the concrete? Well, you couldn't. I looked out and all you saw was white, white, white white. I remember calling in and asking the coaches, 'So, do we not go to work today?' They all laughed at me." 

Three years later, Graham is now a member of the Jets, but Buffalo is still getting hit by snow. Over the last 48 hours, Mother Nature has dropped nearly eight feet and counting on the region and doesn't look to be letting up anytime soon. 

The blizzard has put Graham's homecoming against Buffalo into question. The game's location, time and date are all up in the air and, according to reports, league and Bills' officials are contemplating moving the game to Monday night in Washington, Pittsburgh or Detroit. 

Buffalo has not been able to practice on Wednesday or Thursday as players are barricaded in their homes.  With the city under a 'State of Emergency,' no one is allowed on the roads, except for emergency personnel.

Just three months removed from being a part of the team, Graham has made several calls to his former teammates to check in. 

"They're tired of snowball fights, snow angels and snowmen already," Graham said. "They said it was fun the first day, but now it's kind of just sitting at home all day because they can't go out. Since so many of them don't have SUVs, they're just sitting in the house all day." 

When Graham was a member of the Bills, he said every year, some storm would come rolling through with "some crazy name," but normally, the worst of the weather would come Sunday night and be over midway through Monday. The plows would come out, clear the roads and everyone would go about their days. 

That's not the case now. In an effort to not fall behind, the Bills coaching staff have begun videotaping the team's game plan and sending it out to their players. 

"In the NFL, your preparation has to be on point," Graham said. "I couldn't imagine that situation. I guess it's kind of like taking online classes. That has to be what it's like." 

The worst that ever happened for Graham was the team missed a Monday film review, had off Tuesday and returned to practice on Wednesday. Watching from afar, this is the first time he can remember the storm lasting several days in a row. 

"I've never been a part of anything like that," Graham said. "You just need to adapt to it. Once the trucks get out on the road they'll be able to get back at it.
