Hopeful...

Before we talk about next week, lets take brief moment to talk about the Friday evening and overnight wintry mix.  There will not be much accumulation or precipitation with the system but since freezing drizzle is possible along with the snow, it could make for a mess on the roads.  Snow accumulations will remain under an inch and less than a tenth of an inch of ice.  The weekend should be uneventful after this moves out.

Next week is trending into what might be a memorable snow or even ice storm across the area.  It will still be another day or even until Sunday morning before we can really hone in on the exact path and precipitation type.  The precipitation amounts look solid and a 6+ inch snowstorm.  The only concern at this point is the possibility of a significant ice storm across central or southern Indiana. 

The snow map below ends before the storm makes it to Indiana.  However the precipitation path is a direct hit for our area.  Deep snow would be the result from this run.  Much more to come...

I would say....looking at the latest model data....I would be comfortable in saying that the ice even could be huge....and the snow event JUST TO THE NORTH of the heavy ice could even be in the 10"+ range!!!! However...I am not convinced that this will be US in north central Indiana! Time will tell.....
