Ahead of the snowfall, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett spoke alongside leaders of the National Weather Service, Indianapolis Department of Public Works, and other local agencies at a Saturday press conference.
Hogsett asked Indianapolis residents to limit their time on the road and to expect wind gusts up to 30-35 mph. Visibility issues and the possibility of snow buildup from gusts could create hazardous conditions for driving.
“The city, as you can see, we are all hands on deck to address weather impacts,” Hogsett said.
Beginning late Saturday night, salt trucks will begin pretreating the roads ahead of the snow. They have 15,000 tons of salt available.
The crews will begin plowing snow as soon as it begins to stick. DPW says they plan to update which roads have been treated with their Snow Force mapping tool.
The department said it has contractors on standby to help with plowing, if needed.
“Another full call out of drivers will arrive at 11 a.m. (Sunday),” Deputy Director for Planning at DPW Natalie van Dongen said. “This will be an around-the-clock operation.”
If drivers must be on the road, Hogsett recommended they leave for their destinations earlier, provide space to other cars on the road, and keep emergency supplies in their cars. He specifically recommended blankets, a shovel, and chargers.
“Again, we ask all residents, be prepared, just like they would during April and May and severe weather this is much the same,” Jacob Spence, Emergency Management Director at Metropolitan Emergency Services Agency said. “Have a plan, planned accordingly if you do have to be out, have an emergency preparedness kit in your car, and at your house.”
He also recommended anyone on the road be on the lookout for issues, including fallen trees or traffic lights without power. If issues are noticed, drivers should call the Mayor’s Action Center at (317) 327-4622. Drivers can dial option #2 to reach DPW’s dispatch center direction.

Winter storm warning issued, Indianapolis expected to get 6+ inches of snow starting Sunday
How drivers can prepare for bad winter weather
This video offers tips from the Indianapolis Department of Transportation to help drivers navigate bad winter weather conditions.
The National Weather Service has upgraded a winter storm watch to a winter storm warning for central and southern Indiana, which is expected to receive up to 8 inches of snow on Sunday. The warning will remain in place from Sunday morning until Monday afternoon.
A watch was first issued for Indianapolis on Thursday afternoon. That’s meant to put people on notice that a severe storm could occur in the coming days, said NWS meteorologist Andrew White. A warning, on the other hand, indicates serious threats to travel, property and life in the coming hours.
Winter storm watches become warnings when there will be 5 inches or more of snow in a single event.
The NWS has “much more high confidence than we’ve had in a while” about heavy snowfall Sunday, White said.
During earlier predictions of the storm it was estimated Indy could see 8-10 inches of snow. The storm shifted south, changing those snow predictions.

Symptoms of hypothermia and frostbite
Freezing temperatures carry the risk of cold-related injuries like frostbite and hypothermia, and it’s important to recognize the early warning signs of both conditions. Both can be prevented by bundling up and limiting time outdoors, and medical attention should be sought immediately if you suspect either condition.
Frostbite is a skin injury caused by prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures, and it’s most common in parts of the body that are exposed, like hands, ears and noses. Damage caused by severe frostbite can be permanent. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, early warning signs include:
- Redness and pain in skin
- Numbness
- Firm, waxy skin
- White or gray-yellow skin
People may not know they’re experiencing frostbite because affected areas become numb.
Hypothermia is when the body’s core temperature drops below 95 degrees. Advanced hypothermia is a serious, life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. It’s prevented by staying in a warm environment and dressing appropriately for the cold. Per the National Weather Service, early warning signs of hypothermia include:
- Confusion
- Difficulty speaking
- Shivering
- Sleepiness
- Stiff muscles
Call an ambulance as soon as possible if you suspect frostbite or hypothermia. While waiting for medics, go indoors immediately, remove any wet clothing and bundle up in dry blankets. Areas with frostbite can be immersed in warm — but not hot — water. Drinking warm liquids can also be helpful, so long as they don’t contain alcohol or caffeine.
The National Weather Service warns that some groups, including infants, the elderly, outdoor workers, people with chronic illness and unhoused people are at increased risk for cold-related injuries.

Indianapolis Colts Injury Report: QB Anthony Richardson Ruled OUT Of The Season Finale
The Indianapolis Colts today released their Friday injury report for Week 18 of the NFL season ahead of their season finale Sunday game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Quarterback Anthony Richardson has been ruled OUT for Sundays game against the Jaguars due to a back injury. Richardson has been unable to practice all week, making it two weeks without a practice and now a second game he will miss due to the back injury. It was originally described as “soreness” but after further conversations with Richardson and the team it appears to be back spasms which Richardson said have occurred due to a “chronic” back condition. With Richardson OUT this Sunday he has now missed 17 out of 34 career games so far. It looks like another start for veteran quarterback Joe Flacco on Sunday in the Colts last game of the 2024 season.
Cornerback Juju Brents has been listed as QUESTIONABLE for Sundays game against the Jaguars due to a knee injury. Brents has practiced all week, for the second week in a row, in a bid to make his return from injured reserve. It appears he is in a similar situation to last week where it looked like he may have finally been activated only to be ruled out on the Saturday before the game. Hopefully this is the week he gets activated and gets to make his long awaited return to game time on Sunday. If he is unable to play expect the usual starting line up at cornerback of Jaylon Jones and Samuel Womack on the boundary and Kenny Moore in the nickel.
