Slick road conditions after heavy snow in Indiana
GREENWOOD, Ind. (WISH) — The snow had barely stopped Monday before children and their parents began flocking to the Freedom Springs Park sled hill.
With schools closed due to snow, Alex Bettag took his children to the park around midday, right around the time snow stopped falling. He said he expected the kids would be ready to go inside again after 10 or 15 minutes. Instead, they spent more than 45 minutes sliding down the hill and running back to the top to do it all over again.
“We don’t get a ton of days like this in Indiana where you’ve got enough snow to really have a fun day of sledding, so we had to go take advantage of it,” he said.
Areas immediately south of Indianapolis saw some of the heaviest snow totals from the storm. Storm Track 8 meteorologists said they got reports of 7.2 inches in Greenwood and 9 inches in nearby Whiteland. Justin Curtis, who lives near the park, said he thinks he got as much as 10.5 inches in his yard. Curtis and his children took a break from working and attending classes remotely to shovel the driveway early Monday afternoon.
