Chiefs Any thoughts on the potential ice storm this weekend? - Page 15

Chromatic · 01-09-2017, 08:26 PM

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

Hope it's just a few flurries.

I am very concerned when looking at the 12z EURO run from earlier today. Honestly I never seen max values being outputted on the EURO model before for Ice, so this is new to me. To say im concerned is an understatement. For anyone who understands icestorms and just how much can cause widespread impacts, all it takes is just .25 for power outages. If theres .50-.75 you are dealing with prolonged impacts, trees downed and extensive damage to power lines. Between 1.00-1.50 entire power grids become damaged. Widespread damage to trees. Roads impassable for days if not weeks. 1.50-2.00 power grids not only shut down but substations become damaged from the weight of ice accumulations building on transformers and pylons. Hard to imagine ice accumulating over 2inches. Once you get into these extreme values this is what you call a "catastrophic ice storm". Power grids can become damaged and take months to be fully repaired. So there is big time worries for central Oklahoma up to Ohio. We will be monitoring this potential and update when warranted. Anything can change, and if there is one forecast that I hope to god does not verify, this is the one.

I'm glad I'm getting in at 10 AM Friday. I might just take a taxi to the stadium Sunday.

If I end up taking the train, I'm going to live-post the trip.

We're in Hermann.

There are some trees.

Hey, the Missouri River!

Shitter's full.

Stranded in Sedalia.

Still better than the stretch of I70 from STL to KC. Think I have a picture from one of my road trips here somewhere. Ah, here it is...

Doesn't look like it's gonna be as bad now

58-4ever · 01-10-2017, 07:44 PM

It's looking like a non event at this point. It will all change three more times.

Gary Lezak said it should be okay, new data at 10! I bought a 40 pound bag of ice melt on the way home, he's probably right.

I tried to get a taxi in the snow the other week and couldn't get one. Thought it was strange, but I understood. There were a couple Uber drivers out luckily. Just a heads up. Wouldn't want you to fully rely on that and see you miss some of the game because of it.

redfan · 01-10-2017, 08:34 PM

meh, as usual i'll believe it when I see it.

I'm going to schedule one in the next day for around 8:30-9 on Sunday. Should give enough time.
