#INDOTWinterOps Saturday evening update:

Snow has started falling across the East Central District. We expect it to continue falling through the night and most of the day on Sunday

Check out traffic cameras, plow cameras, and plow locations at https://t.co/pN5652P4Ji

[NWS Indianapolis @NWSIndianapolis]

Snow is surging northeast/east across Indiana with light accumulations reported. Visibilities have dropped to as low as 1/4 mile in far southwest Indiana, and cold temperatures will limit treatment effectiveness—leading to quick accumulations and slippery conditions.

[IMPD @IMPDnews]

Here we go, Indy. Cold temps are here, and significant snowfall is expected later today.
Be prepared and know what number to call to get the services you need.
