Northwest Indiana, which has seen up to two feet of lake effect snow since Thursday, is expected to see more accumulations over the next few days.

Subnormal temperatures are expected in the Chicago area for the next 7-10 days and could dip below zero again in the suburbs. The high of 23 is expected for mid-week before heading back into the deep freeze.
