A winter storm that brought several inches of snow to the area has moved on, but dangerously cold conditions are lingering across Central Indiana this morning.
The National Weather Service says a Cold Weather Advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. as wind chill values dip as low as 19 degrees below zero. Forecasters warn that exposed skin can develop frostbite in as little as 30 minutes under these conditions.
Snowfall ended late Saturday, giving area street crews the opportunity to begin clearing roads and treating icy spots. Crews worked overnight and into Sunday morning to improve driving conditions, though officials continue to urge motorists to use caution, particularly on secondary roads and bridges where ice can persist.
Despite the harsh weather, the Indy Fuel went ahead with their annual Teddy Bear Toss game Saturday night at the Fishers Event Center. The game drew a sellout crowd, and most ticket holders attended, braving the snow and cold to support the team and the charitable tradition.
As of 5:40 a.m. Monday, Hamilton Southeastern Schools had not announced a delay or cancellation, indicating buses were expected to run on their normal schedule barring any last-minute changes. Parents and students are encouraged to continue monitoring school communications for updates.
The National Weather Service says conditions will gradually improve later today as wind chills rise, but cold temperatures will persist. Residents are urged to dress in layers, limit time outdoors, and check on vulnerable neighbors, including the elderly and those without adequate heating.
Officials also remind pet owners to bring animals indoors and to ensure space heaters and other heating devices are used safely as the region endures the latest blast of winter weather.
