Noon Update for Wednesday...

Overall things remain on track as forecast last evening. I did see this morning the NWS dropped their amounts from 4-7" to 4-6" which is just an inch off the top end. However the snow looks to linger more on the back end with light snow into the weekend. Don't anticipate any upgrade to the winter storm watch from the NWS. A wind chill advisory could be in the works starting Friday evening.

I also have seen more conservatism in some forecasts today than I expected. However I kept my forecast to a reasonable number so I don't think I will bust (unless I bust low if this thing cranks up at the last minute).

I guess I would just suggest not getting caught up in the snow totals. When this is done, I think the bitter cold plus wind/blowing and drifting will be the bigger story. Looks for the conditions to be miserable through entire weekend.

A warning to drivers who normally garage their car overnight. Since the snow will be falling during the workday tomorrow, you will need your scraper/brush. Make sure to check you still have it in the car and didn't put it away over the summer. Otherwise you might need to borrow one when you leave work tomorrow.

did you see the forecast from WISHTV8? They show Kokomo getting 2" by Friday evening, but showing Indy over 6"??? What gives? That's somewhat different from other forecasts
