Bills rookie WR Roscoe Parrish, a lifelong resident of Miami, talks about his first season enduring the cold climes of 8uffalo.

Family reaction: My mama really did most of my packing for me. My family was so concerned, they just kept buying me sweaters and jackets every time they went to the mall.

Wishful thinking: One time earlier this season, it was 45 degrees and I said, "This is the coldest it's going to get." Everybody started laughing. They just spread the word around and started making fun of me.

Winter game plan: I always wear a sweatsuit, one with a hoodie so I can put it over my head. And I always wear long johns. When I'm in the house, I still have long sleeves on and have the temperature up till I'm real warm, somewhere up in the 80s. On game day, I make sure to have some hot chocolate and double up with my clothing.

First snow day: I'd seen snow on the ground before this year, but I'd never seen it actually falling from the sky. The first time it happened I was shocked because that night it was clear, and then you look out that morning, you can't even see your car. And I said, "Oh, my God, what am I going to put on?"

Behind the wheel: I brought my college car up here a Dodge Magnum, but I think I'm going to have it shipped back to Miami. It doesn't have four-wheel drive, and the first time I drove it in snow, I kind of did a hook slide because I tried to turn the corner too sharp.
