Good morning, St. Louis

It’s back to business in downtown St. Louis for the Los Angeles Kings, who are scheduled to hit the Scottrade Center ice shortly after noon. There was some snow on the ground that greeted us upon our arrival yesterday afternoon, but most of it melted under mild temperatures that should creep up towards 50 degrees today. The 29-story building pictured is the Thomas F. Eagleton U.S. Courthouse, the largest single courthouse in the United States.
