The deep freeze arrives this weekend

Temperatures drop; the coldest air of the season hits Friday-Saturday, with lows near or below zero. We will start counting the number of consecutive days below freezing. There's no sign of highs above 30 for the next two weeks. There will be some snow through the weekend, primarily light lake effect snow, with the most intense round, Saturday night. You see / hear a lot about a big snow storm, that is likely to hammer the mid-south.  As of Wednesday, or region is only to be impacted by the change in wind direction and lake effect. Areas from Indianapolis-South should really focus on the local forecast. 

Tonight: Snow showers late. Low 15.

Thursday: Mostly cloudy. High 24.

Friday: Scattered snow showers. High 6.

Saturday: Mostly cloudy. High 9.
