Snow showers continue along and north of the I-70 corridor. The heaviest snow is wrapping up with compaction and melting causing lower snow amounts. Hazardous travel will remain a concern through the afternoon, so take it slow! #INwx

The Blizzard of 1978 began on January 25th and carried over into the 26th and 27th with a total of 15.5". But before midnight on the 25th, 4.9" had fallen. This has stood as the daily record for January 25th since. Do you think we will set a new daily snowfall record today? #INwx

Little change to this evening's update on the upcoming winter storm. Wanted to highlight the area of greatest uncertainty along and south of I-70. Any slight change in the track could push the heaviest snow north or south a row of counties. Keep checking back for updates. #inwx

As we prep for the winter storm, here's a number to throw out: If Indianapolis receives 6.0" of snow from this storm, we'll officially exceed last winter's snow total of 11.0". Still down from our seasonal average of 25.5", but there's half the winter to go. #INwx #indy #snOMG

We are expecting heavy, wet snow with this winter storm. Take precautions if you plan to do any shoveling as this type of snow can more easily lead to heart attacks and back injuries. Take breaks and only move small amounts at a time. #INwx
