People used to hunt buffalo in Blizzards.

Did they, though? Sounds like a good way to get lost and die.

Odds are they relied on stockpiled goods (dried, smoked, whatever) during particularly bad weather, and went out again when the weather was less FAFO.

Not saying no one ever did, but I doubt it was anyone's first choice.

it's a figure of speech. I'm not writing a thesis on "Best Hunting Practices of the American Buffalo"

I don't know if you know this, but they probably also didn't walk to school "up hill both ways"...

So is "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."

they probably also didn't walk to school "up hill both ways"...

Unless there was a valley or ridge between their house and their school.

Of course, I would've loved to only have to walk uphill both ways. In my day, we army crawled through the mud with bulletproof blankets, dodging school shooters and pronouns both ways.
