Heavy, wet snow -- part of a storm system that spawned tornadoes in the Houston area -- has covered roads, vehicles, houses and buildings Wednesday from central and northern Indiana into much of southeastern Michigan.
About six inches of snow was expected to fall on the Detroit area, while four inches was reported before noon in eastern Indiana, just southwest of Fort Wayne, said Maddi Johnson of the National Weather Service in northern Indiana.
Just north of Indianapolis, some power outages were reported in Hamilton County as the wet snow accumulated on power lines, said meteorologist Gregory Melo with the weather service's Indianapolis office. Cabauatan said crews will roughly clear on one regular pass just under 5,000 lane miles of roadway. "We will have right around 100 pieces of equipment and operators working" at any given time to salt and clear roadways of snow and ice, he added.
