Winter Storm Wreaks Havoc, Pacers Prevail: Indianapolis Local Pulse Update

Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Sunday, November 30th, 2025. We're waking up to a winter weather situation that's still affecting our roads and travel plans this morning. Yesterday brought a significant winter storm that caught many of us off guard with heavy snow falling across central Indiana. The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning that ran through early this morning, and we saw some pretty treacherous conditions develop quickly. The snow created major traffic incidents throughout the region. On Interstate 70 in Vigo County, a twenty to thirty vehicle pileup shut down westbound lanes near the fifteen mile marker, requiring emergency crews to spend at least six hours on cleanup efforts. We also saw an Indiana State Police trooper injured in a two vehicle crash on I-465 northbound during the storm. Across Grant County, I-69 conditions deteriorated so badly that the sheriff's office warned drivers that conditions were getting worse by the hour. Over in Putnam County, deputies responded to twelve motor vehicle crashes in just two hours. Delaware County was placed under a travel advisory due to the hazardous conditions. Looking at the snow totals we received, the numbers varied quite a bit depending on where you live. Downtown Indianapolis picked up around one and a half inches, but some areas north of the city saw significantly more. Lafayette received as much as eight inches, while Terre Haute saw about four inches before conditions changed over to sleet. The heaviest snow fell during the afternoon and evening hours yesterday, with the precipitation transitioning to rain and drizzle as temperatures warmed overnight. Now for today's outlook, we're expecting wind gusts up to thirty to thirty five miles per hour with wind chills dropping into the teens and low twenties. The winter storm warning has expired, but we'll still see some lingering impacts from yesterday's system. If you're venturing out, bundle up in multiple layers and give yourself extra travel time. The roads should continue to improve as salt and sand crews have been working around the clock. On a brighter note, the Indiana Pacers picked up a thrilling victory over the Chicago Bulls last night. Pascal Siakam sank a fourteen foot jumper with just one second remaining to give the Pacers a one hundred three to one hundred one win at home on Saturday night. A great way to cap off a snowy Saturday for basketball fans. As we head into the rest of our Sunday, remember to stay home if travel isn't necessary. Conditions are still developing out there, and safety should be our priority. We'll continue monitoring the situation throughout the day and bring you updates as things change.
