Lafayette, IN – Indiana State Police are urging caution this afternoon as light snow moves through the Lafayette District, creating reduced visibility and slick spots on area highways.

According to the Indiana State Police-Lafayette District, while interstates remain mostly clear, snow is beginning to accumulate on shoulders and ramps, particularly along I-65 near the State Road 28 interchange toward Frankfort and Attica. Troopers report that visibility is decreasing in some areas due to falling snow.

Motorists are advised to slow down, turn on headlights, and allow extra space between vehicles, as even a light dusting can make bridges and ramps slippery. “Troopers will be out monitoring conditions and assisting motorists as needed,” the agency said in a social media post.

The reminder comes as INDOT’s West Central District also reported varying road conditions across Tippecanoe, Montgomery, and Hendricks counties earlier today. Snow is expected to continue moving eastward through the evening commute.

Drivers planning to travel should monitor real-time conditions at 511IN.org or through the TrafficWise app before heading out.
