Lake Effect Snow Warning
Statement as of 2:49 PM CST on November 20, 2008/

... Lake effect snow warning remains in effect until 1 PM EST
/12 PM CST/ Friday...

A lake effect snow warning remains in effect until 1 PM EST
/12 PM CST/ Friday.

Snow showers will develop today and continue through Friday
morning. Snowfall is expected to be heaviest tonight. Total
accumulation from this lake effect snowstorm is expected to be up
to 8 inches with heaviest amounts over St. Joseph and northeast
LaPorte County... with only an inch or two in southwest LaPorte
County. Brisk northwest winds will cause drifting snow in open
areas.


A lake effect snow warning means significant amounts of lake-
effect snow are forecast that will make travel very hazardous or
impossible. Lake-effect snow showers typically align themselves
in bands and will likely be intense enough to drop 1 to several
inches of snow per hour for several hours. Visibilities vary
greatly and can drop to zero within minutes. Travel is strongly
discouraged. Commerce could be severely impacted. If you must
travel... keep an extra flashlight... food... and water in your
vehicle in case of an emergency.
