Colts-Chiefs Play at Arrowhead During Winter Storm Warning in Kansas City

With a high of 33 degrees and a winter storm warning in effect, Saturday's playoff game in Kansas City was a chilly one.

The top-seeded Chiefs hosted the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday afternoon in the NFL Divisional Playoff round. While both teams were ready for the afternoon's playoff game, the same couldn't be said for the weather in Kansas City. 

With a high of 33 and a winter storm warning in effect for the northwestern Missouri region, the two teams met under chilly (and snowy) conditions.

Snow showers are expected to continue through the morning before tapering off later this afternoon/evening. Snow packed and slick roads still possible. #HomeOfTheChiefs #ArrowheadStadium @Chiefs pic.twitter.com/uwTY0Y8ddG

Arrowhead Stadium was already covered in snow as of Saturday morning. Tractors were being used to push slush and melting snow off the tarp that's currently covering the field. 

Oh yeah, We're definitely getting some snow playoff football in Kansas City 🙌

Approximately six inches of snow had accumulated in the region before noon, per local reports, but neither snow nor the cold—nor the slick driving conditions, for that matter—could stop Chiefs fans for showing up for the game.

Chiefs fans aren't going to let a little snow keep them from Arrowhead today 🥶
