Lake effect snow showers persist over northern portions of Porter County. With very cold temperatures, the light and fluffy nature of snowfall will result in snow covered roads, sharply-reduced visibilities, and slick travel conditions, particularly along and near the I-90 and I-94 corridors in northern Porter County. Expect the snow showers to diminish overnight. Motorists should use caution if traveling across northern Porter County. Slow down in snow, add extra stopping distance, and give yourself extra time to reach your destination.
