Indianapolis, IN – Indianapolis residents are digging out once again as the city’s latest winter storm has officially pushed seasonal snowfall totals above normal, marking the snowiest winter in nearly a decade.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, as of 1:00 p.m. today, the city has recorded up to 10.0 inches of snowfall from the current storm alone. That brings Indianapolis’ total snowfall for the season to 26.0 inches, surpassing the city’s normal seasonal average of 25.5 inches.
Meteorologists say this milestone is significant. It marks the first time Indianapolis has exceeded its normal seasonal snowfall total since the 2014–2015 winter season, highlighting how impactful this winter has been across central Indiana.
The latest snow has affected travel conditions throughout Marion County and surrounding areas, with drivers experiencing slower commutes, snow-covered secondary roads, and reduced visibility during heavier bursts. Road crews have been working to clear major routes, though officials continue to urge caution, especially during afternoon and evening travel.
While snowfall totals vary across the metro area, the storm’s contribution has been enough to tip the seasonal scale citywide. Residents can expect lingering snowpack and colder-than-average temperatures to keep wintry conditions in place even after the storm exits.
Forecasters note that additional systems are still possible before winter ends, meaning snowfall totals could continue to climb in the coming weeks. Drivers and homeowners are encouraged to stay updated on forecasts and road conditions as cleanup efforts continue.
