Indianapolis, IN
Indianapolis drivers navigate snowy roads
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis drivers fought through snowy conditions on many roads Monday after the city was hit with 7-10 inches of snow.
News 8 caught up with one of Indiana’s newest Hoosiers at a gas station on Monday evening, when he learned he had a flat tire after his first big snowstorm as a one-month resident of Indiana. Edwin Maldonado moved from Orlando, so the winter storm was quite the transition.
“It just kinda feels like the ‘Matrix’ when you’re driving in snow,” Maldonado said. “Everything is kinda moving in slow motion. I haven’t really experienced icy roads since I’ve been here. This is kinda the first time I’ve experienced really snowy conditions and then I have a flat tire, so that’s just the cherry on top of it all.”
Maldonado says the roads could have been better treated in some areas. “I feel like they’ve done a pretty good job with main roads but then going into neighborhoods, that are also frequently busy roads, they definitely could be plowing.”
Most city roads were bad Monday with just the main thoroughfares plowed.
The Indianapolis Department of Public Works says it has approximately 70 drivers working around the clock in 12-hour shifts.
Kyle Bloyd, chief communication officer for the Indianapolis Department of Public Works, said Monday, “The square mileage of Indianapolis is quite large, and we’re dealing with this wind as well. A driver can plow these thoroughfares and by the next time they come around their work has already been undone.”
The city has an interactive map showing which roads are being prioritized over others for plowing.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – We are starting out much warmer this morning than what we were 24 hours ago. We will look for temperatures to climb close to 30 degrees later today. Temperatures still will remain below normal for the rest of the week. We are tracking some snow chances that could impact your Tuesday morning commute.
Here’s a quick look at the seasonal snowfall now that January is over. January picked up more than a foot of snow which makes it the 20th snowiest January of all time and the most since 2014. This season we’ve picked up more than 27 inches of snow. This makes it the 10th snowiest season to date.
TODAY: Temperatures 20 degrees warmer than yesterday morning and everyone is into positive territory. Any snow showers this morning will move off to the east and we will continue to stay mostly cloudy for the afternoon. Will look for high temperatures to climb close to 30 later this afternoon. Winds will be light and will not be an issue for the afternoon.
TONIGHT: Cloudy conditions continue throughout the evening hours. No snow expected as you’re making your way downtown to see the Pacers. Overnight temperatures will fall near 20.
TOMORROW: Some snow will impact your Tuesday morning commute. You could see some light snow shower activity early in the morning. Less than an inch of accumulation possible in Indianapolis with an inch or two likely farther south.
7 DAY EXTENDED FORECAST: Colder conditions for your Wednesday. Look for some sunshine but that really isn’t going to warm us up. We will start out in the single digits early Wednesday morning and high temperatures will be right around 23. Temperatures continue to be below normal for the rest of the week. More snow chances are possible heading into your Thursday night into Friday.
Temperatures continue to be below normal with highs only in the twenties for both Saturday and Sunday.
INDIANAPOLIS — Rockets forward Kevin Durant, the sixth all-time leading scorer in NBA history, will miss Monday’s 7 p.m. game against the Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse with a left ankle sprain according to the league’s official injury report.
Durant — a 15-time All-Star, 11-time All-NBA pick, one-time MVP and two-time NBA Finals MVP — leads the Rockets and ranks 11th in the NBA with 26.2 points per game to go with 5.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. He’s shooting 51% from the floor, 40.5% from 3-point range and 88.6% from the line. He’s missed just two games this season.
Rockets point guard Fred Van Vleet and center Steven Adams are also out due to season-ending surgeries. The Pacers are only missing All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton and forward Obi Toppin. Haliburton is out for the year with an Achilles tendon tear. Toppin has been out since October with a stress fracture in his right foot. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said his rehab is ahead of schedule but that it will still be a while before he returns.
