Winter Blast brings ice, rain, and snow

Drive carefully

Fort Wayne, Ind. (WANE) - Our latest winter blast is bringing a mix of rain, snow, sleet, and ice.  Untreated roads are becoming ice covered and slick.  Please use caution while driving.  Take it slow on the roads and give yourself extra distance to stop.  Reports from around the area show that there is a light ice accumulation on objects above the ground.  Most of the roads are not freezing up due to traffic.

A couple of school closings are starting to come in. Check if your school is closed here.

Indiana Michigan Power reported several hundred weather related power outages in Allen, Blackford, Grant, Wells and Delaware counties but by about 3:30 p.m. the I&M power power outage map indicated that all power had been restored.

Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control reminded residents via the FWACC twitter account to "keep cats inside and limit dog time outside in the rain and ice. Be Pet Aware!"

Some pictures and reports are starting to come into the weather center. To send your reports or pictures, use our Report !t feature.
