ACCUMULATING LAKE-EFFECT SNOW IN NORTHERN INDIANA

The lake-effect snow machine is kicking in across northern Indiana tonight. It looks like many spots have received a coating of snow, and areas near the lake under the heavy snow band coming in could pick up several inches by morning. For the latest look at radar, check out the radars tab at the top. Here is the latest from the NWS in northern Indiana:
