Rensselaer, IN – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) reports that snow has begun falling north of Rensselaer this afternoon, marking a shift from the steady rain seen earlier across West Central Indiana.
According to INDOT’s West Central District, crews are preparing to begin operations as early as 4 p.m. to treat roads and monitor conditions. The agency encouraged drivers to stay alert for changing weather patterns and possible slick spots as temperatures continue to drop.
“While we’ve mostly seen rain so far in our district, snow is starting to fall just north of us in Rensselaer,” INDOT shared in a social media update Friday. The department added that road crews are ready to respond as the weather transitions through the evening.
Motorists traveling through Jasper County and surrounding areas should exercise caution, particularly on bridges and overpasses, which can freeze faster than main roadways. Additional updates are expected as INDOT assesses accumulation and road treatment progress through tonight.
