Good morning, Lafayette.

Lafayette Urban Ministries and Lafayette Transitional Housing Center are preparing to shelter residents today amid a winter storm — below-zero temperatures are expected.

The organizations offer 48 beds, 50 floor mats, and 20 extra cots to ensure everyone stays off the streets.

Winter storm warning is in effect from 7 PM today to 7 AM EST Monday for parts of central, east central and west central Indiana with 4 to 8 inches of snow — a cold weather advisory until noon warns of wind chills that may cause frostbite.

Tippecanoe County Parks advises residents to avoid ice fishing and skating on county lakes and ponds following the winter storm.

Officials warn that dangerous ice conditions remain unpredictable and ask visitors to follow posted signs for their safety.

City of Lafayette officials are preparing for a forecasted winter storm this weekend by planning to deploy crews to 12 designated snow routes if a snow emergency is declared.

Priority one streets will be plowed first (emergency routes) so plows can then work on trash and residential streets.
