Before I get to the snowfall totals I want to stress that the biggest headline continues to be the dangerous cold we are about to experience. Yes a lot of snow is coming but we need to be prepared for the kind of temperatures headed our way. This is basically once in a lifetime kind of cold we are about to witness. Temps as the snow exits Sunday night dip well below zero, with wind chills of -20 to -40. I don't think a lot of us realize how dangerous a -40 wind chill is. The coldest night appears to be Monday night when temps dip to -10 to -25. That is the actual air temp! This type of cold can do serious damage. It will be dangerous to be outside at all. Temperatures will stay well below zero until late Tuesday or early Wednesday. That is over 48 hours of below zero air temperatures. Let that sink in for a minute...
Here is my first call on the snowfall coming in Sunday. It does not matter where you are located in Indiana, your going to get snow. Expect the snow to break out shortly after 1am Sunday, then really start picking up near daybreak. The snow will become heavy through the day on Sunday, with the heaviest snow occurring between 9am and 3pm. Snow rates could exceed 1" an hour at times. Do not travel unless emergency. As winds pick up, expect a ton of blowing and drifting with downright dangerous wind chills. Temps will plummet through the 20's during the day, then eventually the teens, single digits, and finally all the way in the negative teens by Monday morning, with those wind chills approaching -30. I will continue to post updates on my Facebook weather page. If you haven't yet, give it a "LIKE" to stay posted. Just go to the "Find me on Facebook" tab at the top of the blog.
