More Lake Effect Snow For Northern Indiana
Lake Effect Snow Warning In Effect For LaPorte County, Several Other Counties
LAPORTE COUNTY, Ind. (CBS) ―
Only two days after parts of Northwest Indiana were clobbered with snow, a new lake effect snowstorm is about to descend on some areas.
CBS 2's Ed Curran reports that while snow totals are not likely to pile up as high as they did on Tuesday, 6 to 8 inches are possible in some areas.
Northwest winds across Lake Michigan are combining with very cold air to bring the lake effect snow showers to Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan, according to the National Weather Service.
The worst snowfall is expected to come Thursday night before the Arctic high generating the cold air moves southeast and weakens the snow bands, the National Weather Service reported.
A lake effect snow warning is in effect for LaPorte and St. Joseph counties in Indiana, and most counties on the western shore of Michigan from Berrien County all the way north to the Traverse City area. A lake effect snow advisory is in effect for Porter County, Ind., and several other counties.
On Tuesday, up to a foot of snow fell in parts of Northern Indiana. There were 30 crashes and 20 slide-offs in the early morning hours Tuesday on Interstate 94 as the snow fell, according to Indiana State Police.
