VIDEO: It's Snowing Hard at Arrowhead Stadium
By Michael Luciano
Missouri native and Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock will get a nice taste of that classic December weather in Kansas City, as he'll prepare to take on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in a snowstorm. Even a few hours before kickoff, the snow is starting to come down at Arrowhead Stadium.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the city of Kansas City today, as anywhere from 4-6 inches of snow are expected. Get ready for Vic Fangio to run Philip Lindsay until the wheels fall off.

Winds will be light... accumulating snow on the field could impact player production today, but we are still rolling with our Chiefs and Broncos studs in this game. pic.twitter.com/wtuWuCXD5m

The Arrowhead turf is already snowy and slick, perfect conditions for a December football game between two division rivals.

Chiefs fans famously packed the house for a playoff win over the Indianapolis Colts in what turned out to be Andrew Luck's final game. That game was played in almost a legitimate blizzard, and it didn't seem to bother Mahomes, Andy Reid, or the Chiefs as a whole much at all.

If you plan on going to this game, PLEASE drive safely. Once you get there, however, prepare for an old-school snow game that harkens back to the good old days of NFL football.
