We will start to see the first effects of this winter weather event overnight tonight as snow moving across Indiana this evening reaches eastern Ohio. We will likely see 3-4 inches of new snow by daybreak.

Tomorrow snow will continue off and on with a total snow of 4-6 inches by evening.

The snow will change to freezing rain Tuesday evening (sometime between 7pm and midnight) and continue overnight.  By Wednesday morning total snowfall will be 5-7 inches with an ice accumulation of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. It will also become windy overnight.

The morning commute on Wednesday will be quite nasty with freezing rain and snow and the likelihood of downed power lines and tree branches.

During the morning Wednesday the freezing rain will change over to all snow with a total snowfall of 7-10 inches by evening.

On top of the snow, freezing rain, and wind temperatures on Wednesday will fall from near 30 in the morning into the lower 20s by evening.

Looks like a good one...stay home and enjoy!
