    This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for east central Indiana,
    southeast Indiana, northeast Kentucky, northern Kentucky, central
    Ohio, south central Ohio, southwest Ohio and west central Ohio.

    DAY ONE…Today and tonight

    Wind gusts up to 40 mph will be possible this afternoon. Snow
    showers will move into the region overnight tonight bringing some
    minor snow accumulations, mainly on elevated and grassy surfaces.

    DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN…Thursday through Tuesday

    Snow showers are expected Thursday morning and then again Thursday
    night. Snowfall accumulations will be possible, especially on
    elevated and grassy surfaces.

    Winter weather related Warnings, Watches and Advisories are issued by your local National Weather Service office. Each office knows the local area and will issue Warnings, Watches or Advisories based on local criteria. For example, the amount of snow that triggers a “Winter Storm Warning” in the Northern Plains is typically much higher than the amount needed to trigger a “Winter Storm Warning” in the Southeast.

    +Warnings: Take Action!

    +Watches: Be Prepared

    +Advisories: Be Aware

    Here are some more key terms to understand:

    • Freezing Rain: Rain that freezes when it hits the ground; creating a coating of ice on roads, walkways, trees and power lines.
    • Sleet: Rain that turns to ice pellets before reaching the ground. Sleet also causes moisture on roads to freeze and become slippery.
    • Wind Chill: A measure of how cold people feel due to the combined effect of wind and cold temperatures; the Wind Chill Index is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin. Both cold temperatures and wind remove heat from the body; as the wind speed increases during cold conditions, a body loses heat more quickly. Eventually, the internal body temperature also falls and hypothermia can develop. Animals also feel the effects of wind chill; but inanimate objects, such as vehicles and buildings, do not. They will only cool to the actual air temperature, although much faster during windy conditions.

    Currently, members of Council are compensated $5,700 per year for their service. The Vice Mayor is paid $6,135 and the Mayor is paid $6,570 per year.

    Under the Ordinance, beginning January 1, 2026, the annual salaries will be:
