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.

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

Ugh. I so don't want to have to drive through ****ing St. Louis. I'll have until I get to Springfield to make the call.

You're not going to want to take any of the northern routes. Big swath northwest to southeast through iowa and beyond that is expecting anywhere from 8 to 14" of snow.
