I was planning on driving up Friday night, but now I'm going to take Friday off and leave 1st thing Friday morning. I've already driven in a snowstorm for a Chiefs/Colts playoff game, would rather not do it again.

I studied meteorology quite a bit in college, and I pursue weather as a hobby now.

Basically the NWS is the true source of info, and of course they are only using models as well.

NWS currently has precipitation starting Friday morning in KC, and off and on through Saturday. The temps will be going up and down above freezing, so it's hard to decide on a precipitation type.

Best guess from them is 1-4 inches total, with the smaller totals near KC as of now. There could be some ice/sleet at certain points.

There is no Winter Storm Watch yet, but I would expect one soon if the models stay the same, or at the least a Winter Weather advisory, which is slightly less serious. I doubt a Winter Storm Warning is in the cards for this storm.

Yeah I'm hoping it's not that bad. Looking at two trips to KC Friday night and Saturday morning. Can't stay the night due to helping with tailgate load up here in Topeka.

Must be one hell of a tailgate

It's not that. Just we have a good system going and is easier when we are all on the same page.

A little snow or ice won’t effect the playing surface other than being a little wet. I remember when they were selling the renovation to the voters. That was a big selling point. The majority didn’t want that portable roof thing but did like the heated field idea.

I just read the NWS forecast discussion from 3pm today, so a bit of an update to my previous post.

As of now, Looks like KC precipitation starting Friday afternoon as a rain/snow mix, changing to snow overnight. Most models have us above freezing, so they are lowering the snow totals as of now.

Also of note, NWS thinks most if not all accumulating precipitation will be done by noon Saturday, with just sprinkles/flurries after that.

NWS was late accepting the models for the November blizzard up until hours before it actually started. European and NAM models caught it several days before and verified.

So far same trend is happening for this Saturday.

Any precipitation is a horrible horrible thing for us. I don't care if you guys are comfortable, I care about how it will effect Mahomes and our passing offense.

Colts might not need Luck to do much. Chiefs run defense is terrible and snow games usually force both teams to run the ball.

Yeah I can't see how any Chiefs fans can really think that this is a good thing. I agree that if conditions get to a certain point, the passing game is impacted, which is not good at all for us. It focuses more attention to the run game, which we all feel the Colts have a strong advantage. For all you lovers of football in the snow, how about you flip on some CFL games to get your fix. For us, the better the weather conditions, the bigger advantage we have. THIS team is not built for sloppy January snow games.

We are built for January. It depends on if mahomes can grip the football. If he is, we have a huge advantage. The Colts become one dimensional. We don't. Luck was bad bad in warm and rainy conditions in Jacksonville. And his arm hasn't been tested in windy conditions post surgery.

That's not getting into how Colts won't have nearly the same speed on grass.
