Lake-effect snow alerts in area February 3, 2009 4:54 AM | 1 Comment
A lake-effect snow warning is in effect this morning for northwest Indiana, as well as a lake-effect snow advisory for Lake and Cook Counties in Illinois.
Snow is expected to hit just as the morning's rush hour gets under way, working its way through the city and to the southern areas of Cook County between 5 and 7 a.m., leaving possibly an inch on areas roads.
The National Weather Service doesn't expect this band of snowfall to be significant, but enough to create slick road conditions. As much as 1 1/2 feet could fall in Porter County, Ind., and a half foot in Lake County.
The system should end by early Wednesday, said Gino Izzi from the National Weather Service.
"It depends on the wind direction. If you get a shift of 10 degrees, we could see the Loop get 4 inches. It all depends how and if the wind shifts," he said. "But the model right now shows a direct hit at Porter and Lake Counties."
Long as I remember The rain been coming down. Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun; And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
