Snow plows and trucks that disperse road treatment were prepped Tuesday in anticipation of 10 to 15 inches of snow falling in Michiana today and Thursday.
By early Tuesday afternoon, Goshen street crews had finished prepping their vehicles for the weather system. Elkhart County road crews had also finished making preparations, having begun Monday.
“A prolonged weather event of 36 to 48 hours” has arrived at the Goshen area, according to the National Weather Service of Northern Indiana.
NWS meteorologist Mark Frazier said that the rain, which began moving into the Lake Michigan and northern Indiana Tuesday, was expected to switch to a rain and snow mix, then to snow.
“We expect that snow to continue through the day Wednesday,” Frazier said by telephone.
After a break Wednesday evening, Frazier said the area can expect additional snowfall Wednesday night into Thursday morning, when it was expected to taper off. A total of 10 to 15 inches of snow is expected across the Michiana region.
