The “big dig” may have to wait a couple of days as brutal temperatures and wind chills will make for downright dangerous conditions to be outdoors for any length of time. Coming off the city’s second snowiest day in history (11.1″), we now have to contend with dangerous cold. This is the type of cold that can turn deadly should you be outdoors for any length of time. Take it seriously and remain indoors hunkered down if at all possible.
Before we look at the cold, here’s a snap shot of storm snowfall totals from our winter storm. “Historic,” “Severe,” “Memorable” are all words that come to mind when discussing this storm. Widespread 12″ + totals have been reported across central Indiana, and drifts are approaching 7 feet in spots.
Temperatures today will only reach the 10-12 BELOW zero mark, coupled with wind chills that dip below 40 BELOW zero at times through the day. With the wind, blowing and drifting snow will remain a concern.
