Strong winds and freezing cold temperatures have combined to put much of northern Indiana and southern Michigan into a deep freeze that will continue to dominate until at least Wednesday.

The National Weather Service office in Syracuse has issued a Wind Chill Warning in effect now through noon Wednesday. Low temperatures at 15 below zero tonight with winds will make it feel like 40 below zero.

Dangerous winds chills are imminent today through Wednesday and will result in frostbite of exposed skin in a matter of minutes. Hypothermia or even death is possible with prolonged exposure or death for those not property dressed for the weather conditions.

Travel conditions will remain hazardous through Wednesday as blowing snow continues to cause drifting, especially in open areas. Some roads are already impassable due to drifting snow.
