The warning also includes Cass and Berrien counties in southwestern Michigan.According to the warning, between 2-to-6 inches of additional lake-effect snow could fall on the area over that time, causing slippery road conditions and significantly reduced visibility during the evening commute Wednesday and into the morning on Thursday.
The northeastern portion of Porter County is also under a winter weather advisory because of the snow, according to officials. Residents are urged to postpone travel if at all possible during the storm. If travel is necessary, motorists are urged to keep an extra flashlight, food and water in their vehicles.
