Hamilton County Emergency Management has upgraded road conditions to a travel warning, the highest level of local advisory, as dangerous winter weather continues to impact central Indiana.

A travel warning means all non-emergency travel is strongly discouraged, with road use restricted to emergency personnel only. Officials urge residents to remain off the roads and follow all emergency directives until conditions improve. The warning will be reevaluated Monday afternoon.

Hamilton Southeastern Schools announced Sunday that Monday would be an e-learning day.

Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness underscored the severity of conditions Sunday, posting on social media that he was out assisting with snow removal and personally helped three stranded motorists while operating a snow plow.

According to the National Weather Service, a Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 7 a.m. Monday. An additional up to two inches of snow is possible across central Indiana, including Hamilton County. Officials warn that roads may remain snow-covered and slick, potentially impacting the Monday morning commute.

In addition to snow, the region is facing a prolonged period of dangerous cold.

An Extreme Cold Warning is in effect from midnight Sunday night through 11 a.m. Monday, followed by a Cold Weather Advisory from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday. Another Extreme Cold Warning will be in effect from 7 p.m. Monday through 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Wind chills are expected to drop as low as 20 to 25 degrees below zero, with frostbite possible on exposed skin in as little as 20 minutes. Prolonged exposure could lead to hypothermia.

Officials remind residents to avoid all travel during the warning, dress in layers if going outdoors briefly, check on vulnerable neighbors, bring pets indoors, and monitor official updates from Hamilton County and the National Weather Service.

Residents are encouraged to stay informed and remain indoors until conditions improve.
