Could Be A Record Setting Late Snow!

This storm is developing into what could be the latest and biggest snow we have ever had! It is almost April and we're forecasting what could be our biggest snow we've had all winter! This is crazy. Models first indicated this being a much smaller system by the time it reached our area however things have changed and we're tracking something much bigger now. Take a look at this system developing just off to our west.
We have a Winter weather watch in effect for much of the state at this time. Take a look at the watch below.

...WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MORNING
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...
 
* OTHER IMPACTS: WINDS WILL GUST TO 25 TO 30 MPH SUNDAY
  AFTERNOON AND EVENING...CAUSING BLOWING SNOW. THESE WINDS
  COMBINED WITH THE HEAVY WET SNOW MAY CAUSE SOME LOCALIZED
  POWER OUTAGES.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL. CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THE LATEST FORECASTS.
This strengthening low pressure system will move into the lower Ohio valley as we move into early Sunday and continue through early Monday. Much of the state will stay in an all snow event giving way to decant snowfall number across the area. This map below is showing areas seeing all snow / rain / mix / ice.
The break down for tonight. We will see partly cloudy skies this evening with clouds moving in as we head into tonight and the overnight. Snow showers will move into the area late tonight between 3:am and 5:am give or take. Expect a low tonight of 29* degrees with winds between 5 and 10 mph.
 
Sunday we will see snow showers through out the day with the heaviest snow later that afternoon into early Monday. Expect a high around 38* degrees with a low that night of 25* degrees. It will be windy with winds blowing between 20 and 25 mph gusting between 30 and 35 mph at times. With the winds blowing the heavy snow we could see dangerous conditions start to develop. Currently looking for snowfall between Sunday and Monday of 5" to 7" inches in and around the Lafayette, and Indianapolis, areas.
 
Monday snow showers will linger into the early afternoon and evening before skies try to clear a bit. High around 40* degrees with a low Monday night around 24* degrees.
This map above is looking into Late Sunday night. You can see that heavy band of snow setting up over the central part of the state. This is where we're expecting that 5" to 7" inch band to set up. with locally higher amounts near 8" inches not out of the question.
 
Here is your current snowfall expectation map below.
I'm keeping most of central Indiana in a wide band of 5" to 7" inches with some areas near 8" inches likely. A 3" to 6" inch band just south of Indianapolis, and north of Tippecanoe, and Carroll, counties. And 2" to 4" inches north and south of those lines. I'm really excited to track this system with all of you. Please take lots of pictures and video. Feel free to send them to be via, the JIWB facebook page.
 
 
 Also tell us how things are at your location during this event on facebook or the comments section of the blog. I do have to work tonight however I will try to have at least a small update on JIWB later on tonight. It will be after 10pm or 11pm tonight. So stay tuned!

Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.

Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about setting up
my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? With thanks
