Winter Weather strikes Indiana

 A winter weather advisory that continues until 7 p.m. Thursday for most of Indiana, will bring along treacherous road conditions.

Greg Goodnight, City of Kokomo mayor, spoke of the plow crews' roles in the snowstorm on Kevin and Lindsay in the Morning early Thursday morning.

“We started with 12 trucks overnight and have increased our trucks to 26 this morning,” Goodnight said. “[Our immediate goals] are to focus on the main arteries first to allow for emergency transportation and move out to neighborhoods and cul-de-sacs. It can take up to 12 hours to get all of those areas cleared.”

Goodnight added trash pickup will continue Thursday, but expect delays. For more information on travel conditions, visit www.trafficwise.in.gov.

INDOT crews responsible for roadways at U.S. 31 and U.S. 931 said, during Male Call, plow trucks run a 2-hour route throughout their shifts, but the heavy amounts of snow have made it difficult for plows’ work to be seen.
