I took a job in Georgia this week on a 1-2 year contract. I am leaving Thursday morning and spending some time in Augusta Georgia. Enjoy winter!

It's still several days out though, so plenty of time for it to change. Or move north/south so that KC gets rain or snow instead of ice. Honestly you don't need 2 inches of ice to cause havoc though, it's impossible to drive on. Just get half an inch and you're finished.

I do wonder though... say it's a worst case scenario ice storm and the whole city is shut down, power outages, etc... would they actually postpone a playoff game?

Yeah. If there's 2 inches of ice, it'll be lock down for a while. Like, months.

When was the last time anywhere in the US got 2 inches of ice? 40,000 BC?

ROFL

Seriously, though, I have to be back in LA on Monday so if this has the potential of shutting down airport my plans are screwed...

I'm too lazy to go through all the earlier pages of this thread. Has anyone already posted this?

Like, it would be completely our luck for a massive ice storm to **** up our best shot at a Super Bowl in over a decade

Also, the look on Eric's face when Rich tells him Reek is the reason we have a shot in Foxboro.

You don't have to go back that far at all...hell, texas got 2 inches of ice back in 1978 or something like that. And most people were without power for 2 days. I repeat, 2 days. In Texas. Idaho has the record of 8 inches ice accumulation back in the 60's.

Im REALLY concerned with potential ICE STORM in our area this weekend! We live in the country, and ice normally means pontential loss of electricity on our farm. I will be one PO'd farmer/rancher, if I lose juice and interferes me watching the Chiefs!!!!

I have an old generator Im going to park by my power pole, just in case. It will run 10 hrs before it runs out of gas, so Im going to be ready. On a second note, also have potential cattle numbers roaming freely on the open prairie due to ice breaking the electric fence that is keeping them in the wheat fields, where they are grazing.

But, my main concern, is being able to watch the CHIEFS!
