Warning on snowmageddon pictures.

It's that time of year again when pictures of winter storms that are two weeks away appear show snow accumulations of 30+ inches. Do not fall for these as they are being circulated on social media. These are operational computer models that spit out one like that and then in the next 6 to 12 hours the same model will say sunny and warm with a chance of thunderstorms. Please take these pictures with a grain of salt. 24 to 48 hours before the event is to arrive is when you have the best forecast information.

There does appear to be something showing up in the models for the central Indiana area for December 8th - 10th but that's about all anyone can say. Actually, ensembles seem to be trending slightly warmer with a more zonal flow towards the middle of December.
