About the Storm

A significant winter storm continues to impact central Indiana. Heavy snow - more than 10+ inches - has fallen in Johnson County and extreme cold is settling into the area.

The storm has created treacherous travel conditions and hazardous roads, with travel expected to be difficult into Tuesday. In addition to snow, arctic air is driving frigid wind chills, prompting advisory guidance on staying safe in low temperatures.
