So once again, I hope they're right. Would make for some fun atmosphere as I grab a bag of popcorn and watch the rest of the NFL play for the playoff lives.
If we get that storm you may not have power. [Reply]

It's not the snow we're concerned about. It's the ice that is being projected. Too much ice on the power lines, with snow on top of it...... yeah that'll go well. [Reply]
A Major Winter Storm is taking direct aim on Kansas City. This is a very rare winter storm and there will be major impacts. Freezing rain, which is liquid water that freezes on contact with surfaces below 32°, could accumulate up to 1/2" in areas south of Kansas City before it… pic.twitter.com/cHOwLbDqhR

If that happens, you’re going to have widespread power outages. We got hit with one of those about 20 years ago and some were without power for 3+ weeks.
