Buffalo Kickoff Temperatures Since 2006: Three Questions

What was the coldest Buffalo home game since 2006?
Nov. 29, 2013: Bowling Green 24, Buffalo 7, at UB Stadium, at 28°F.
What was the hottest Buffalo home game since 2006?
Sept. 5, 2015: UAlbany 14, Buffalo 51, at UB Stadium, at 86°F.
What is the Buffalo home record at 32°F or colder since 2006?
1-1 in two games.

Kickoff temperatures come from NOAA airport weather records (GHCNh): the reading nearest kickoff, within an hour, at one fixed airport for each stadium. Game data provided by CollegeFootballData.com. Games at dome and retractable-roof stadiums are shown but left out of every record and list, whatever the roof position. A temperature with no second reading within 2°F to check it is marked “Single reading”, and a game whose stadium no official source confirms is marked and left out of the lists. Home records count every home game with a kickoff temperature, including games that cannot appear in the lists. When games tie at the end of a list, the line under it counts the rest.
