It’s not winter yet, but Indianapolis has already seen nearly 2 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service.

Snow blew in late on the afternoon of Nov. 9, bringing with it a winter weather advisory, and stopped falling midday on Nov. 10, dropping 1.8 inches on the capital city. Areas north of Indianapolis saw slightly more precipitation, with Frankfort topping out at 3.4 inches.

The cold front isn’t over quite yet. Scattered flurries are possible before 4 p.m. Nov. 11.

But temperatures will warm back up to a sunny 55 degrees by Nov. 12, the National Weather Service predicts.

When does winter actually begin? According to meteorologists, Dec. 1 starts the season, though most people push that back to Dec. 21 and the winter solstice.

Here’s how much snow was reported to the NWS on the morning of Nov. 10. Snow continued to fall in some parts of Indiana into the early afternoon, so a finalized report expected tomorrow will likely show slightly higher totals, an agency spokesperson explained.
