Any thoughts on the potential ice storm this weekend?
 

This site seems to predict chaos and 2 inches of ice but I hope it's wrong.

Hope it's just a few flurries.

We are doomed.

if the roads are covered in ice the attendance will be shit on Sunday.

We went thru that shit in sw mo a few years back. 10 days without power sucks

If there's more than an inch of ice, they won't be playing the game in kc sunday

So TLDR

You think people from the midwest have never seen this shit before? I'm driving 3 hours to go to the game and will stay the night after but it's not keeping me from going.

Pitt fans may not travel that far but local area will show.

Buckle up


RIP DT :(

Would you really blame them if they valued their life over a football game? This forecast may turn into a whole lot of nothing. But, if it is as bad as it has the potential to be, I wouldn't blame them one bit for staying home and off the streets.

Sure if we get 2" of ice. Not likely.

Might get nasty.

Still going.

I completely agree that its not likely. But I would be a fool to not be keeping it in the back of my mind. When it comes to driving in those conditions, its not me I'm worried about, its all the drivers that don't know how to drive in it. Regardless of the region, there are tons of shitty drivers that you need to be worried about.

Ice
 

Bring it!

****ing A.

Dogs and cats living together

Mass hysteria!!

Hell must freeze over so we can advance

Nobody knows how to drive on ice.

oh but the people with 4 wheel drives think they do. ROFL

The European model is usually pretty accurate.

Ice storm?

I'd love an excuse to do absolutely nothing this weekend.

(Better not f up my q39 reservation friday night tho)

This does not look fun

Friday Night Freezing rain likely, mainly after 1am. Cloudy, with a low around 21. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Saturday Freezing rain likely, mainly before 7am. Cloudy, with a high near 30. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Saturday Night A chance of freezing rain. Cloudy, with a low around 25. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

Sunday A chance of rain or freezing rain. Cloudy, with a high near 36. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

The damn crowd had better show up the hell up! First home playoff game in over 10 years so MAN THE HELL UP ICE OR NO ICE!

Meh.

Last time I checked, water doesn't freeze at 36 degrees.

Bring a poncho.

Go Chiefs!

might be a good idea to nab a hotel near arrowhead and sweep up some last minute cheap tickets

Unless it is supercooled on the way down and hits what is cold/frozen on the ground. Then it will freeze too.

right? the last time I saw a forecast like this was a week before christmas. We were supposed to get snow and ice on christmas. meanwhile local forecasts showed temps in the 60s. A few days before christmas they were predicting a tornado outbreak. Was a nice christmas in the 60s here with some tornados off to the west.

We'll be fine.

FWIW, Roeth is out of his walking boot. Claims he just aggravated an old foot fracture but he's ready to go for Sunday.

Treated Roads + above freezing temps

Nothing is sticking.

This is the truth. It's going to be in the 40s these few days. If there was a deep freeze, I'd be more concerned about freezing rain.

But if the temperature is 36 degrees at 11 AM, that's not going to freeze.

good

Do they treat that much in MO anymore?

No worries at all, I've got...

3 years experience living in Alaska and driving on those roads

An arctic rated sleeping bag and buttloads of other blankets

Plenty of candles

Fresh batteries in the lantern

Plenty of food

Incredible collection of books

Camp stove fueled by tons of fuel pellets, no shortage there

I can hunker down for several days if necessary

My only hope is that the worst of it misses Arrowhead, please dont gimme an ice storm that kills crowd turnout and turns the game into a slopfest that favors LeVeon Bell

That was such a fun week. I stayed at 5 different houses in 2 days, kept losing power every place we went. I was lucky got my power back by Sunday night.

Flying in Saturday afternoon. Do these storms ever shut down the airport?

As long as I can get to MCI, and my Uber driver can get me to Arrowhead, I'll be there!

Yes, there's a risk. No use frettin though.

First of all, 36, is the high. It could take until mid afternoon to get above freezing. Secondly, it certainly can and does snow at temps up to around 37.

I'm attempting to dump my tickets at this point. If I don't sell them and the forecast doesn't get too much worse, I'll still power through it and make the trip, but if I can get my money back, I'm bailing.

I could handle it if it were just a few hours' drive, but it's a 10+ hour trip for me in good weather.

Again...

Bring a poncho.

You'll be fine.

If you sell them make the buyer sing a song about how wonderful the ravens and eagles are.

Just don't 'dump' your tickets to a Squealer fan!

Just remember that today is Monday. And the forecast is for Saturday/Sunday. Could easily see it being much ado about nothing.

I've just got 'em up on Ticketmaster, so I have no control over it. That said, if a Chiefs fan wants them, I can sell them without the insane ticketmaster fees...

Got a second week of winter break essentially and it didn't matter since I was a senior.

Just leave Thursday. :)

No way I'd plan to drive across Kansas with a weather forecast like this one. Even if you are careful, there are always idiots out there going way too fast.

PM me

Already planning on buying bread, milk and eggs because it's not a winter storm unless we stock up on these 3 items, whether needed or not.

Seriously though, the only times I have ever lost control of my vehicle were due to ice, no stop, no go, no left, no right, just whatever track that pile of Detroit steel decides to take. Exhilarating yet terrifying.

I do have faith in the (in)accuracy of the weather forecasters, wbf.

I was hoping to drive up from Springfield, but honestly this is pretty scary and I'm thinking about bailing. I really want to go to this game, but if the roads are icy, there's no way I can risk that.

Yeah, but you live in Florida. Broward County, I believe. Incidentally the largest county in the hemisphere.

Squeeler fans will show up.

C'mon Man!!!! Each one of you that bail out risks another Black and Yellow jersey in the stands...

Not really. I have no plans to miss this game but if I were to, those tickets are not going on the market for a sqealer fan. I would give them away before I sold them to a fan of another team.

fun fact. Today Florida is the only state that doesn't have snow on the ground. 1 out of 50. Even Hawaii has snow.

Local guy here still on the fence about going. How do you think the forecast will affect ticket prices through the week?

They will drop like a rock come Saturday if this storm lives up to the hype.

Good answer! I hope the majority feel that way instead of putting them up on-line somewhere...

I'm flying in Friday. Am I good?

I was living in the armpit of Missouri. Everton. After 9 days without power I had had enough. Went to Springfield that morning, spent $7OO on a generator. The ****ing power came back on 3 hours after I got the generator up and running.:#
**** ice storms.

What time do you land

12:30pm Central

You'll be fine then.

How about Saturday at 3:30 PM?

You should be good.

Thats more of an issue based on the info we have right now. But, as many have said, these forecasts are incredibly unreliable this far out. You'll have a better picture come Thursday

I hate ice. Don't mind snow. Ice is impossible.

Flying in through Dallas. Already looking at renting a car a driving up if there's flight problems.

If the weather is bad enough that there are flight problems though, I imagine that would be a brutal drive...

Yeah, ice can be some scary shit.

What's crazy is this storm has been in the forecast for the last two to three weeks. It's been insanely consistent for that far off.

If you fly in you only have 1 driver to worry about handling the conditions, if you drive you have to worry about all the other "drivers" out there. (Whom I don't have a lot of faith in.)

n00b, stfu,nd stfd and start watching soccer
have you even lived the mid west?

THIS

n00b? LMAO

Internet tough guy strikes. Should I tremble?

:spock:

WTF is all that supposed to mean ?

Hawaii always has snow.

New guy, shut the **** up. No don't. Sit the **** down and start watching soccer.

What that has to do with an ice storm, I have no idea.

Ice is deadly. Black ice is the worst.

I imagine that they will be salting the roads big time starting in a few days if the predictions stay as they are. Even if there wasn't a game they would do that but they will probably be even more aggressive because of the game with preparations before and active treatment during the storm. That being said I'm not sure if anything can be very effective with a half inch or more of ice.
