We have had a bad case of the winter blues in and around Fishers, starting early Sunday morning.  We received snow in varying depths, not a lot (an inch or two in most places) but enough to cause driving problems.  The biggest issue with the local road crews was the rain that fell Saturday, making it impossible to effectively pre-treat area roads.

That led to snow covered and very slick conditions Sunday morning.  Conditions have improved as Sunday morning turned to afternoon, but the snow may not be done.

The National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory until 7pm Sunday.

“Scattered snow showers and slick conditions” are possible during the Advisory period, according to National Weather Service forecasters.  We could see up to an inch of additional snow.

But the snow is not the biggest issue we face.  We may see winds gusting as high as 40 miles per hour.  The temperature early Monday morning is forecast to be about 6 degrees here in Fishers.  The high winds will make things that much worse.

Bottom line, be careful driving Sunday and be prepared for very cold temperatures the next 5-6 days.
