NORTH WEBSTER — The northern half of Kosciusko County will continue under a winter storm warning on Sunday after Saturday’s snowstorm blanketed much of the Midwest and Great Lakes.

Saturday’s storm dumped eight inches of snow north of North Webster at the National Weather Service office, and similar amounts were reported across Kosciusko County, leaving treacherous road conditions for holiday travelers.

Fort Wayne received 5.7 inches of snow while South Bend saw nine inches of snowfall.

Windy conditions will continue Sunday, and another one to five inches are predicted across the area, with much of that expected to affect areas north of Warsaw, the weather service said.

Regionally, lake-effect snow will develop this morning and continue throughout the day, causing travel impacts to persist, the weather service said.

Wind gusts of 30 to 35 mph are expected for the remainder of the day.

The storm warning remains in effect for southwest Lower Michigan and northern Indiana through 7 p.m. 

Temperatures will fall into the upper 20s this morning and could lead to some re-freezing of melted snow on roadways. Patchy drifting snow is also possible. Some roads are also likely snow covered from the heavy snowfall yesterday.

Motorists should be alert for slick road conditions, the weather service said.

Police reported a large number of accidents and slide-offs, but no fatal crashes were reported as of early Sunday morning.

Some businesses closed early Saturday, and some Sunday church services were announced overnight.
