Description: 
At 458 PM EST, an area of heavy snow was located along a line extending from 10 miles south of Crawfordsville to 16 miles north of Linton. Movement was east at 40 mph. Winds in excess of 40 mph are possible with this area of heavy snow. Locations impacted include... Greencastle, Brazil, Cloverdale, Seelyville, Ladoga, Jamestown, Roachdale, Knightsville, Clay City, Bainbridge, Harmony, New Market, Staunton, Fillmore, Coatesville, North Salem, Waveland, Carbon, Russellville, and Center Point. This includes the following highways... Interstate 70 between mile markers 13 and 46. Interstate 74 between mile markers 51 and 57. Visibilities will drop quickly to less than a quarter of a mile in this area of heavy snow. A rapid drop in temperatures will lead to the rapid formation of black ice on area roadways. Black ice is nearly impossible to see and roadways may appear wet. Please use extreme caution, especially on bridges, overpasses and around curves. Allow plenty of stopping distance and avoid braking suddenly. Icy roads are possible as the snow melts on the roads then quickly refreezes. Conditions can deteriorate rapidly in winter weather situations. Be prepared for snow or ice covered roads. Slow down and allow extra time when traveling.
