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.

Stop.

Not gonna believe it.

Never heard of such a thing

Just saw this from the NWS Kansas City...

Still early to be highly confident, but 0.25 - 0.75" possible

Looking good to make it to KC Saturday now, but have no idea how we'll get to Arrowhead Sunday AM. Any suggestions?

Kansas Ice Storms are nothing to miss around with they can freeze tree limbs and the tree limbs can fall on top of cars. So don't park under a tree. I've seen it happen.

Do snow chains work on ice? Google search has resulted in inconclusive evidence

I will be in bed...

Crazy stuff, we've had heat waves here recently that've knocked out the power a couple times. That contrast.

Well, I don't want to believe it - but it's getting harder to discount it as we're getting closer.

I also don't want to stick you with a ticket, but I'm starting to have concerns about getting there. If it hits here in STL tomorrow/Saturday, I'm not even sure trains would leave the station - and that's if I can even get to the station.

Let's take a look at the forecast again tonight and tomorrow AM and I'll make a decision. Any word on Sunday night? Text me.

Heat waves can be deadly if out in the heat too long with heat exhaustion but so can the cold with frost bite and hypothermia and shock.


Both would be suckledge ways to die.


Kansas ice makes travel dangerous obviously. I've seen the heat wave make tires stick to asphalt or the oils in roads can make them slick too.

Kansas is extremely hot summer & can get extremely cold winters. During fall it can be 80 one day and 30 the next. Kansas can drop 50 degrees in a day. ****ing crazy weather we have.

Man that temperature difference in the one day is something we definitely don't get here. I guess that's what happens being so far from the coasts. Something to look forward to for when I visit KC one day LMAO

Hope the power stays on.

The joke is if you don't like Kansas weather wait a day.

This year we haven't even had enough snow to build a snowman. Weak sauce winter.


I like to bbq more when there is snow on the ground during winter months than in summer when it's hot. You can cook an egg with tinfoil on the hood of a car.

At this point I'm envious of even an 80F day. Been insanely hot.
