Winter Storm Warning set to go into effect at 1 p.m. Tuesday

OK, so that infamous groundhog (possibly disguised as a penguin) saw his darn shadow Sunday, supposedly signaling six more weeks of winter.

And here it comes again, the Indiana winter that won't quit ...

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning, effective 1 p.m. Tuesday until 1 p.m. Wednesday, for most of central Indiana, including all of Putnam County.

Snow is expected to begin Tuesday afternoon in west-central Indiana with accumulations of 6-9 inches expected along and north of a line from Terre Haute to Connersville, with 2-5 inches predicted south of that area.

North of Indianapolis -- where no mixed precipitation is expected -- snowfall totals may range from 7-10 inches by the time the winter storm ends on Wednesday.

Snow, sleet and freezing rain are due to begin late in the day on Tuesday, continuing through the morning on Wednesday.

Forecasters believe that if the storm system moves more to the northwest than currently projected, more mixed precipitation and/or rain will fall in the south and central areas. If the low-pressure system moves southeast, more snow will fall in southern Indiana.
