Well, above is what it looked like in the Lafayette, area at around 4:30pm EST this evening. That first batch of snow moved in a little sooner then expected. You can see how large the snowflakes are and how things already are looking like whiteout! This was blowing like crazy in our current 20mph winds. This is nothing as to what we will see soon enough!Latest models are showing much of the viewing area seeing a mostly snow event. However some light icing could be possible in the southern parts of the viewing area. Take a look at my latest sleet and ice map below.
You can see no sleet from Lafayette, north. However sleet is likely from Lafayette, south. With around 0.10" inches of ice possible in Montgomery county and areas in the southern half of the viewing area. In southern Montgomery county I would expect slightly higher ice amounts between 0.10" and 0.25" inches possible. Still the main icing event will be south of the viewing area around Indianapolis and around areas. They could see an inch or more of ice accumulation! Very Dangerous, This could very well cause down power lines across the area along with down trees leaving people without power for days!!.
I have upped the snowfall amounts a bit as most of us look to be in a mostly snow event with some light sleet possible. Take a look.
This is a HUGE SYSTEM! Just amazing! Stores have been packed all day and the roads have been packed all day as well. Bumper to bumper! Roads are starting to get slick as you seen in the picture at the top of this post! Lots of heavy snow came down there for a while and this will pretty much be the story through out the night!

I'm still expecting winds steady between 20 and 30 mph between tomorrow and Wednesday. With wind gusting between 35 and 40 mph. This will look like a blizzard! We have Blizzard warnings in effect for Benton, Newton, and Jasper, counties from 3:pm CST 4:pm EST Tuesday, Through 3:pm CST 4:pm EST Wednesday!
.
A Winter Storm Warning in effect for the rest of us from 7:pm EST this evening through 7:pm EST Wednesday!

Again with the winds blowing this snow around so much we will be looking at snow drifts in FEET! Not Inches! I really hope everyone got everything they needed earlier today. Cause the snow has started and it's not gonna let up anytime soon!

I will continue to have updates as needed. Remember to send me your snowfall reports and pictures to me at dobby1717@aol.com Thanks!

God Bless!
