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.
A winter weather advisory is in effect across parts of central Indiana until 10 a.m. Nov. 10 as bands of snow move across the state.
Snow accumulations could reach 2 inches in some areas, the National Weather Service in Indianapolis predicts.
Drivers should expect slippery roads and lower visibility — especially between 3 a.m. and 10 a.m. — making morning commutes potentially hazardous. Be sure to plan extra travel time and drive cautiously.
Be mindful of stairs, sidewalks and driveways as the surfaces could be icy, causing falls, NWS cautions.
Counties included in the advisory are: Boone, Carroll, Clay, Clinton, Fountain, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Howard, Johnson, Madison, Marion, Montgomery, Morgan, Owen, Parke, Putnam, Shelby, Tippecanoe, Tipton, Vermillion, Vigo and Warren.
This includes the cities of Anderson, Attica, Brazil, Brownsburg, Carmel, Clinton, Covington, Crawfordsville, Danville, Delphi, Fairview Park, Fishers, Flora, Franklin, Frankfort, Gosport, Greenfield, Greencastle, Greenwood, Indianapolis, Kokomo, Lafayette, Lebanon, Martinsville, Mooresville, Montezuma, Noblesville, Plainfield, Rockville, Rosedale, Shelbyville, Spencer, Terre Haute, Tipton, Veedersburg, West Lafayette, West Lebanon, Williamsport and Zionsville
