The weather forecasters have been correct this time around.  As of 8am Thursday morning, Fishers has a few inches of snow and some ice underneath.  City crews have been out battling the storm and likely will continue well into Friday morning as another round of snow is forecast Thursday.

Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness assured the community that his Department of Public Works is ready for this storm.  The Fishers Emergency Operations Center will be activated if the situation warrants, according to the mayor.  Hamilton County announced Thursday morning that their Emergency Operations Center has been activated.

The National Weather Service says 4-7 inches of additional snow may fall today.  The Winter Storm Warning remains in place through 1am Friday.  As of 8:15am Thursday, no power outages have been reported in Fishers by Duke Energy.

City Hall is closed for in-person business Thursday and the COVID testing and vaccination sites are closed today.  Call 317-595-3211 for any questions.

Fishers city crews do plow snow in local neighborhoods.  In a Twitter message, the city suggests removing vehicles from the streets to allow the city crews to 1) completely clear roadways 2) plow safer and more efficiently and 3) keep your vehicle from being “snowed in” from plowed snow.
