As of 5:30 a.m., the following schools reported delays: The Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) district announced a two-hour delay, with students expected to arrive at their usual time but starting classes an hour later.

Some areas saw over six inches of snow, with drifts reaching up to 12 inches in some spots. Despite the weather-related delays, local authorities encouraged residents to exercise caution when traveling and shoveling snow. The city's Department of Public Works has crews working around the clock to clear major thoroughfares and side streets.
