Looks like he could be wrong.

I've read 6 different scenarios for Sunday morning today. I don't suspect they'll have a firm handle on any of it until Saturday morning.

Thank god I'm flying in early Friday.

Freezing rain sucks balls. I don't envy you guys at all.

Maybe we can get the high slipping hazard to work in our favor, make Bell slip behind the line

The forecast seems to be improving slightly in STL, but still sucks ass in KC.

That's the main road between Springfield and the Bootheel.

From Chiefs subreddit:

"NWS is saying pretty low risk for large ice accumulation in KC. It looks like the worst will be south of KC. With the heaviest being along I44 between Springfield and STL. Keep in mind these are probabilities."

^ good interactive map showing percentages of ice buildup

So only 50% chance of anything more than 0.1 inch, and now the high is up to 36 with a low of 34.

Not too shabby.

Hopefully everyone wasn't already scared into selling their tickets and we get a good crowd for the game.

Remember we're still at Wednesday. Lot could change in 48 hours.

Anyway, how about that ****ing 30 degree temp drop in the last 3 hours? I was ready to break out shorts.

Worst temp drop I ever experienced though was sometime between Feb-April in 2009. It was a 40 something degree drop in 2-3 hours. You could look on the horizon and see black clouds bringing a huge cold front with it. Anyone remember that?

I'm in shorts on my deck in STL as I type this. Guess the front will hit here overnight.

When I was in college in Springfield in the early 90's, we had a day in November that was 70+ during the day, and by the time we got in from the bars that night, there was 4 inches of snow on the ground.

Was at a Chiefs game a number of years ago were the temperature dropped around 30 degrees in one half. Was almost like this. People who did not pay attention to the weather forecast were hosed.ROFL

KCUnited 01-11-2017 06:13 PM

Wasn't the biggest temp drop ever, nor the coldest game I've ever been to, but I'll never forget 12/14/08. SD vs KC, Willie Roaf was honored at halftime. It was 60 degrees in the parking lot during the tailgate and dropped into the 20's during the game.

Wasn't the 2010 home opener on MNF about a 30 degree drop and then storms?

Kiimo 01-11-2017 07:18 PM

Look up the Children's Blizzard for fun time reading.

They say the temperature dropped 100 degrees in some areas.

OnTheWarpath15 01-12-2017 06:39 AM

NWS forecast looking pretty bleak. Sounds like the majority of the ice will be coming late Saturday and the overnight hours of Sunday morning - making travel to the game a significant issue.

Calling for anywhere from .25 to .60 of ice.
