Another Storm, Advisories

Came home to get my girls Bus should be here soon.. They will go with me out to My Uncles & Aunts farm, they stay with them till Momma_Mayhem arrives or I complete my plow route...

Everyone be Careful this is much more than was expected.. Some people are still driving a bit fast for their safety... We all know this, Slow before you need to Stop, and Make sure you have time to pull out... 

I have seen many Sreet department Trucks out plowing, I just came from West 8th street, seen a couple there with plows down running together... I felt bad so I joined in for about 10-11 blocks until I needed to turn off... (Just My Part)

Here is the update I have read...

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR BLOWING SNOW MEANS THAT VISIBILITIES WILL BE LIMITED DUE TO STRONG WINDS BLOWING SNOW AROUND. USE CAUTION WHEN TRAVELING...ESPECIALLY IN OPEN AREAS.

High wind warning in effect from 10 am Wednesday to 1 am est thursday,
The NWS in Indianapolis has issued a high wind warning, which is in effect from 10 am Wednesday to 1 am est Thursday. The high wind watch is no longer in effect.
A strong low pressure system will move across Illinois and northern Indiana tomorrow followed by a cold front moving through the area. The intense pressure gradient ahead of this front and the strong pressure rises behind the front will cause very strong winds to blow across central Indiana.
Wind of this strength can cause widespread damage. With a saturated ground from recent snow melt and expected additional rainfall trees could easily be toppled in the strong wind. In addition to tree damage, power outages could also occur as loose tree branches and trees could fall into power lines.
Anyone with outdoor interests will be affected by high winds. Travelers should remain cautious when making travel plans on wednesday. High profile vehicles will find travel difficult.
A high wind warning means a hazardous high wind event is expected or occurring. Sustained wind speeds of at least 40 mph or gusts of 58 mph or more can lead to property damage.
