From the National Weather Service Northern Indiana’s facebook page:
A strong winter storm system will be moving into the Ohio Valley at the end of the weekend and will bring heavy snowfall to the region. Although the exact track of this system is very uncertain at this time, our forecast area is believed to be on the edge of the heaviest snowfall from this storm system. The current consensus track is along the Ohio River. If the low pressure system tracks further north, most of our area (everywhere south of the Michigan border) will receive heavy snowfall. If the low pressure system tracks further south, most of our counties will be spared, with heavy snowfall confined to far southeastern portions of the forecast area. As of now, snow acculumations are expected to range from 2 to 6 inches across the majority of the area, with as much as 6 to 8 inches possible in our far southern counties.
