Good morning and happy Friday, friends!  Boy, Old Man Winter is really beginning to turn some minds around from thinking this was an easy winter to one that’s quite impressive, especially from a cold standpoint.  By the way, there’s MUCH more from where this came from!  Essentially we remain on “lock down” for more brutally cold and wintry conditions for the upcoming 7-10 day period.  More on that later.

Here’s a look at our initial snowfall forecast map for tonight and Saturday:

Forecast radar shows heavy wet snow encompassing central Indiana Saturday morning:

Bullet point highlights you need to know:

• Snow will overspread central Indiana from the southwest between 10p-1a
• Snow will become heavy at times between 3a-7a
• Sleet and freezing rain will accumulate significantly downstate
• Most of the snow will be east of the area by 3p Saturday
• You’ll want to plow and clean snow up Saturday night as cold air quickly returns Sunday
• Arctic outbreak next week likely will feature record cold, and colder than this week has been
• No let-up in sight from this unrelenting winter pattern
