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.

Jaguars return home after getting stuck on Indianapolis tarmac for 7 hours during storm
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars returned home early Monday after spending seven hours waiting through a winter storm on the tarmac at Indianapolis International Airport.
The National Weather Service reported heavy snow — between 2 and 5 inches — freezing drizzle and wind gusts of up to 40 mph in central Indiana.
The Jaguars (4-13) had hoped to get out of Indy before the worst of it, but their game against the Colts went to overtime and caused enough of a delay that players, coaches and staff got stuck. The Jaguars lost 26-23.
Their charter flight finally was cleared to leave at 1 a.m. EST and landed in Jacksonville two hours later. It delayed owner Shad Khan’s scheduled meeting with coach Doug Pederson to decide their path moving forward.
The Kansas City Chiefs avoided traveling in the storm by remaining overnight in Denver following their game against the Broncos.
