Morning in St. Louis

Hang out in the Midwest for four days, and you’re likely to run the gamut in terms of weather. One day, it’s clear and cool. The next day, thunderstorms. The next, cold and overcast. The next, warm and humid. Keeps things interesting, at least. It’s an 8 p.m. local-time start tonight, but both teams will be on regular schedule, with the Blues having their morning skate in a few minutes and the Kings following an hour later. Here’s how things look in St. Louis this morning, not from the hotel window but from a nearby corner.
