FRAZOD were you the one saying you were driving in from Chicago for the game? If so do you expect weather or roads to be an issue? Trying to plan out the best route to the game.

The snow storm is a bit ahead of schedule. I live in central Iowa and originally, overnight Friday into Saturday was the problem. Now we're under a Winter Storm Warning tomorrow with snow ending very early on Saturday. If you're coming from Chicago or places to the northeast of KC, try to get south before you go west, you'll miss more of it that way. Just be aware that it appears there's a forecasted 4-6" snow band southeast from the Iowa border towards St. Louis that includes Kirksville and Columbia. We're expected to get 8-10" here tomorrow. In KC, they're expecting more like 2-4". There, the front end of the event will be more rain with snow overnight on Friday and ending on Saturday morning. |

FYI, current spot forecast for the area around the stadium is 23 high/19 low.

As far as routes from Chicago to Kansas City go, there are basically four - the northern route through Iowa - I-88 to I-80 to I-35. The most direct route for going to the area around the stadium is I-55 to I-72, which turns in US 36 at Hannibal, but remains four lanes all the way across the state until it hits I-35. This will probably have the least amount of traffic after you get off I-55. The third route is through St. Louis, which sucks balls. That's I-55 to I-270 to I-70. Out of the way, heavy traffic, and I-70 is generally pothole hell. I'll only go that way if there is a shit ton of snow in northern Missouri making 36 a poor choice. The last route is sort of a country short-cut route if you're going to the southeast suburbs, like Lee's Summit. That's I-55 to I-72 to US 54 to US 50. This goes through Jefferson City. With the weather I probably won't go that way since it features about 100 miles of 2-lane highway and driving through Sedalia, but under normal conditions it's the shortest and fastest way to Lee's Summit. |

Of course, I doubt if I'll be able to go 79 on Saturday. EDIT: The truck speed limit is still lower, but I think it's 65 IIRC. The trucks tend to do around 70, though, so even if you get stuck behind one it's not like it used to be. I certainly remember that one truck doing 56 passing everybody else going 55. ****ers.

From what I can find the biggest part of the snow will be 36 on north. Here in Columbia we are supposed to get 4-8 and where my parents live North of Brookfield is calling 8-12. You might want to try swinging south as much as you can, if possible. If you end up getting stuck anywhere close to Columbia I can help you out |
