Carmel, IN – Drivers across Carmel are being urged to slow down or avoid travel today as snow and freezing temperatures continue to create hazardous road conditions, particularly on residential streets.
According to the Carmel Police Department, officers are actively monitoring road conditions throughout the city as a Winter Storm Warning remains in effect. Police shared photos showing snow-covered and slick roadways, warning that conditions could change quickly as the storm continues.
Officials are asking residents to stay home if possible. For those who must travel, police recommend reducing speed, leaving extra following distance, braking gently, and allowing plow and salt trucks plenty of room to work.
The slick conditions are most noticeable on neighborhood roads, where snow accumulation and lower traffic volumes can make surfaces more dangerous. Main roads may also become hazardous as temperatures remain cold throughout the day, increasing the risk of ice.
Carmel is located in Hamilton County, just north of Indianapolis, and is among several Central Indiana communities dealing with winter weather impacts today. Drivers traveling between Carmel and nearby areas such as Westfield, Fishers, and Noblesville may also encounter difficult conditions.
Police emphasized that even short trips can become dangerous during winter storms, urging motorists to plan ahead and allow extra time if travel is unavoidable. No major road closures were immediately announced, but officials caution that crashes or worsening weather could lead to delays.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local alerts and weather updates as conditions evolve throughout the day.
