NWS, DOT tweets about snow storm

The northern Indiana office of the National Weather Service is using its Twitter account to keep us updated about the coming snowfall. You can see the tweets here, even if you don’t have a Twitter account. I’ll post interesting tweets below as they come out during the day.

All other winter headlines remain in effect until 7 PM EST. For the latest warning/advisory and forecast info, visit http://t.co/HxPbUiZjdf.

Winter Storm Warning cancelled for Indiana counties west of U.S. 31, as snow begins to taper off from west to east across the area.

No matter what, #INDOT drivers are prepared to stay out, treating the roads for as long as it takes until they are clear.

The storm's western edge is entering #NEIN right now. If winds pick up, however, we'll be dealing with some possible drifting #snow.

@bradgressel Our crews are on full callout. With snow falling as we plow & routes of 35-40 miles, it's hard to keep ahead of the snow.

Most locations have seen between 5 and 8 inches of snow. Keep the reports coming!

Folks, when snow keeps falling like this, no matter how many plows are out, road conditions are going to be difficult. Expect slow going.

If you were planning any holiday shopping on Saturday, it may be a wise decision to delay those plans. Roads will likely be messy.

The worst effects of this storm system will be seen during the morning and early afternoon hours on Saturday.
