As if winter needed any help, what with the fact that the roads in northeast Indiana are already snow covered and slippery right now. (Three inches or so last night, which is enough for that particular hazard.) Also, just so you don't forget, after the snow it's going to get crazy, dangerously, stupid cold. One forecast is saying a low of minus 20 and a high of minus 11 Wednesday. No, that doesn't include windchill.
From the National Weather Service:
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 3 AM EST MONDAY TO
7 PM EST MONDAY...
* WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches
expected with the highest amounts north of the Toll Road.
* WHERE...Portions of northern Indiana, southwest Michigan and
northwest Ohio.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The
hazardous conditions will likely impact the Monday morning
commute and possibly the Monday evening commutes. Blowing and
drifting are likely.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means periods of snow will
cause primarily travel difficulties. Expect snow covered roads
and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving.
(It's not much snow by our standards, but I've found in recent years that not as much snow is needed for the emergence of that type of person I like to call Homo Stupidus.)
That could will no doubt be coming up our way too. We had deep cold on Monday and Tuesday of this past week, where the temperatures dropped below minus thirty celsius.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure whatever we get, you get it worse! But at the same time, we're not as used to it as you are.
