Madison county remains under a county-wide travel warning this evening, with authorities asking citizens to limit travel to only emergency need.
Northern Madison county received about 11 inches of snow, and the severe winds have drifted it in excess of 4 feet high in some locations according to reports.
There may be a small respite on Sunday, but forecasts are calling for "moderate snowfall" to arrive late Monday and into Tuesday for the same area.
Get your running done and get home and plan to stay there. . .

Too bad it'll be just like the majority of the time and amount to mostly nothing but a dusting again. . .
It's about halfway across Illinois right now, heading east.
IF, we get only 4 inches, ontop of what we already got, along with 20mph winds.........that is enough to shut things down for a few hours......and if we get the 8 or 9 inches that is possible....we might be down for a day or two...
and I got way too much going on at work to miss any time away.... :no:
as much as I would LOVE to have another day of eating, sleeping and watching movies....I am going to have to brave the elements....
IF we get a blizzard you aren't going anywhere except the bathroom. . . :razz:
The bad thing is, it probably won't be TOO bad around 6 or 7 am.....it will be my drive home that is going to be bad...IF...we get what they are forecasting..and...If, I didn't have a deadline that I am trying desperately to beat, I would take a "day off"...and enjoy my trips to the bathroom.. :yes:
Almost like playing craps!
You talkin' 'bout the odds on the trip, or the trips to the bathroom?

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning, and the snowfall will be more significant than first thought.
Central Indiana will generally see heavy snowfall amounts in the 5- to 9-inch range and be followed by significant blowing and drifting Tuesday night and Wednesday, with wind gusts around 35 mph possible.
The warning is in effect from midnight to 1 p.m. Wednesday.
