Snow lovers brave storm to enjoy winter in Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Snow lovers were out and about Friday evening to enjoy the snow while running errands.
It was no surprise that the few people willing to brave the storm would stop to talk about how they actually love the snow.
It’s no surprise that the few people willing to stand outside in the snow to do an interview about the snow actually loved the snow.
Fely Tapia is a travel nurse from Atlanta. She loves getting a chance to experience this winter weather. “We don’t have snow in Atlanta that much, and I’m a cold person. I prefer cold weather.”
Harry Singh was doing a photo shoot outside of a gas station because he loves the snow so much. “(The) last few years we didn’t get that much, but this year is good. We enjoy the snow.”
Keyona Ruth is a snow lover and a ride-share driver. She was out braving the snowy conditions to take passengers around the city during the snow on Friday night. “I actually like it right now. It’s just a little slushy, if they clean the streets a little better it would be a little bit better.”
Despite loving snowy weather, these drivers were not loving the road conditions in Indianapolis.
“It’s a new adventure for me, learning how to drive in the snow. I just approach it in a curious way,” Tapia said. “They did not clean those roads, so it’s hard for my car, even though the car is a little higher, it was hard for the car to drive through.”
The Indianapolis Department of Public Works says its crews were working 12-hour shifts around the clock to keep the roads clear.
Strom Track 8’s meteorologist say the weather will slow down this weekend before chances for snow return Sunday night.

Indianapolis councilman says ‘No Data Centers’ note was left at his home after someone opened fire
The home of a councilman in Indianapolis was shot at early Monday in what local police said was an “isolated, targeted incident.”
The incident came less than a week after the Indianapolis Metropolitan Development Commission voted 6 to 2 on April 1 to approve rezoning to allow the construction of a data center.
Ron Gibson, a Democrat who represents District 8 on the council, spoke out in support of the rezoning and the efforts to build the data center in his district.
“Earlier this morning, between approximately 12:45 a.m. and 12:50 a.m., just a few hours after Easter Sunday, an individual fired 13 rounds at the front door of my home and left a note on my doorstep that read, ‘No Data Centers,’” Gibson said in a Monday statement.
Councilman Ron Gibson
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said it was called to the home on Monday morning, and officers found evidence that gunshots had been fired at the house. Police said no injuries were reported.
“I understand that public service can bring strong opinions and disagreement, but violence is never the answer, especially when it puts families at risk,” Gibson said in his statement.
The Indianapolis-Marion County City-County Council did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.
The data center is set to be built by Metrobloks, a data center developer based in Los Angeles. Following the vote last week, Gibson shared a statement on social media promoting the project.
“Metrobloks has the potential to bring significant investment, create jobs, and generate long-term tax revenue that supports infrastructure, housing, and essential services,” the statement said.
A data center boom is happening across the US, with companies pouring billions into building the infrastructure to keep up with demand in the era of AI. The data centers have faced increased opposition, with critics pointing to the high resource costs, from water to energy, and other issues like noise pollution, as detailed in a Business Insider investigation.
