As much as 17 inches of snow fell in Indiana, with over a half foot in parts of Michigan, Illinois, northern Arkansas and eastern Missouri. The combination of snow and strong winds caused power outages in the St. Louis metro and parts of central Illinois. In northwestern Indiana, blizzard conditions were reported Wednesday afternoon and evening and many vehicles were stuck or stranded.
