Overview
|
A large storm system brought heavy snow and ice to a large portion of the country around January 25. In central Indiana, snowfall amounts over 12 inches were recorded in parts of the area. Indianapolis' 1 day total of 9.1" was the largest 1-day snowfall since 2018. That 1-day total set a new snowfall record for January 25 at Indy. The snow caused many counties in the southern half of Indiana to go into a Travel Warning status. Very cold wind chills accompanied the system. |
