You can see in this image above all the different colors of blue really moving into the area. One band really stands out to me at this time. As you can see in the left of this image. This is a band currently moving through Fountain county Warren county, and Benton county, about to move into Tippecanoe, and White, counties. This band is looking like snow fall at a rate of an inch an hour! It's going to get heavy for a little bit here soon bloggers. The Winds are blowing around 5 to 10 mph so this snow will be like Annie, said earlier "Blowing In Your Face"
