The snow is so heavy, it is registering as a thunderstorm on radar...
Snow will continue through the evening hours. The heavy band is back building over our area. Near 1" per hour rates will continue for 1-2 more hours. Snow (in general) will continue and stop sometime between 2-4a.m. Then flurries are possible after that. The wind is gusting up to 30mph causing a lot of blowing and drifting snow. Drifts up to 2 feet are possible. Mean while in Southern Indiana, heavy freezing rain is falling. Freezing rain is falling and is accumulating quickly. Odon, Indiana has received .1" of freezing rain (this was reported 1 hr. ago the total has likely raised). This area will see up to .3" of ice tonight. "Numerous" accidents have happened in southern Indiana tonight.
I think Attica will receive 3-4" of snow. I currently have 1.5" (hard to tell from blowing and drifting snow). Areas in southern Indiana will see up to .3" of ice, which will make roads impassable and power lines to snap. Tomorrow morning will be rough. If you don't need to go anywhere..don't.
This map shows the travel status of each county. Red (Vigo county) means it is extremely dangerous to travel the roads. You can get a ticket if you drive through a county that has a Red or Warning status. I have a feeling southern Indiana is going to see a lot of Orange and Red by the end of the night.
