ORIGINAL STORY
COLUMBUS, Ind. — Bartholomew County Emergency Management says Bartholomew County and Columbus are expected to receive another round of winter weather starting today. The county remains in the 2-inch to 4-inch snowfall range at this time.
Snowfall is expected late morning Friday and Friday afternoon. While 2- to 4-inches are forecast, locally higher amounts are possible.
Because of the recent warm temperatures, there may be limited snow accumulation on roads and paved surfaces unless moderate to heavy snowfall occurs.
Temperatures are expected to fall into the low 20s and upper 10s in combination with 15 to 25 mph winds, which will create a wind chill near 7 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. The coldest wind chills are expected into Saturday morning.
