Roads are seeing more impact as surface temps cool. We still have 60 drivers running routes and will change crews at 11 p.m. Be advised of possible refreeze of slushy/wet areas overnight. Give yourself extra time and space when traveling, especially downtown with NBA All-Star.

[NWS Indianapolis @NWSIndianapolis]

Widespread snow continues through early evening before ending from NW to SE. Total accumulations will be 2-4" across central Indiana with locally higher amounts near/just south of I-70 where heavy snow is ongoing. Use caution! #INwx #indy

4 PM UPDATE:
Heaviest snow so far this afternoon overspreading the Indy metro from the southwest. Expect snow to begin accumulating faster and on roads along with visibilities down to a few hundred feet. #INwx #indy #snOMG

[Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe]

#NBAAllStar fans and players: Welcome to Indianapolis! We're excited to host you for a weekend of sports, arts, and culture unlike any other.

Here are a few resources to know about as you enjoy the heart of basketball 🏀 country 🧵

[Indy Department of Public Works @IndyDPW]

If it's not falling already, be ready for wet snow and the possibility of refreezing tonight. We could see up to five inches in the worst projections. Make sure you are planning ahead and giving yourself extra time if you are headed downtown for the NBA All-Star events today.

[NWS Indianapolis @NWSIndianapolis]

A system will bring light snow to central Indiana Friday, primarily during the daytime into the early evening. Minor accums around an inch with locally higher amounts will be possible, but warm ground will limit impacts. #INwx

[NWS Indianapolis @NWSIndianapolis]

Freezing rain is expected with icy conditions expected by morning. Air temperatures may be slightly above freezing, but ice may still form on sidewalks and roads due to a very cold and frozen ground. If traveling, drive slow and safe! #INwx

[Indy Snow Force @IndySnowForce]

Planning ahead? Have a plan for potential icy road conditions especially through late tonight. Avoid unnecessary travel if able or consider going home before the weather hits. Remember: Slow down, give space and get home safe!

[Indy Snow Force @IndySnowForce]

Indy DPW is expecting freezing rain tonight into Tuesday. Difficult travel possible before the temps warm. We will have crews pre-treating roadways beforehand and have crews on-hand throughout the night to address slick conditions. Use caution overnight and be #WeatherReady

[Indy Department of Public Works @IndyDPW]

We want to thank everyone for their patience and use of caution throughout today. Crews are still on 12-hour rotating shifts as we finish up. Continue to use caution as black ice can form at any time. We will stand down resources when conditions and forecasts warrant.

[NWS Indianapolis @NWSIndianapolis]

Subzero wind chills expected for much of the early weekend with a Wind Chill Advisory for tonight. Temperatures will be even colder Saturday night but lighter winds will keep wind chills from falling as far. #INwx

Indy DPW is expecting 1-3" snowfall Thursday night into Friday morning, which will impact roadways. Officials with DPW are encouraging those who can work remotely on Friday to do so in order to help alleviate pressure on the Friday morning commute. Give our drivers space to work!

[Gina Glaros @ginaglaros]

Plan for slow and potentially dangerous travel in central Indiana tonight into Saturday morning as bitterly cold air and snow return. https://t.co/dQo3mFQWvE

[NWS Indianapolis @NWSIndianapolis]

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect tonight thru Friday Morning. Look for accumulating snow. Another arctic blast will arrive for the weekend, bringing very cold temperatures. #inwx #indy

[Indy Department of Public Works @IndyDPW]

While the weather is clear today, mother nature is going to give us a second round soon. We’ve faced primarily ice and extreme cold over the last week. DPW used nearly 2,400 tons of salt since Jan. 8. Crews remains on 12-hour rotations to address weather Wednesday into Friday.

[NWS Indianapolis @NWSIndianapolis]

One to Two inches of snowfall is possible on Thursday into Friday. If traveling, slick conditions will be possible on untreated side roads, bridges and overpasses. #inwx #indy

[NWS Indianapolis @NWSIndianapolis]

Dangerous wind chills will continue tonight and Wednesday morning. A Wind Chill Advisory is in effect from 9:00 PM tonight thru 9:00 AM Wednesday for the northern half of central Indiana. #inwx #indy
