(My forecast for Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning remains the same as yesterday. It could get intense by afternoon drive time Tuesday. Expect 4-8 inches of snow to accumulate, with a chance of sleet and freezing rain mixing in south of I 70. Highest amounts are most likely north/northeast of Indy. This could change of course, so I hope you’ll check in on radio, in the STAR, or right here Monday morning. Enjoy the game.)
