IndyStar journalists will continue updating this article Friday with the latest information.
A winter storm warning remains in place for central Indiana, including Indianapolis, until 7 p.m. Friday.
Although snowfall has come to an end, dangerous cold and gusty wind resulting in blowing and drifting snow have not let up. The winter storm warning states residents should plan on slippery road conditions, with blowing snow reducing visibility.
Dangerously cold wind chills of minus 25 to minus 35 degrees will be common, with wind chills of minus 40 degrees possible. Wind chill values this low can cause frostbite to exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes.
Forecasters with NWS stated late Thursday night that snowfall totals across central Indiana were going to be less than the 3-5 inches that were originally predicted.

Meteorologists revised their estimated snow totals to 1-4 inches saying the band of higher accumulation had shifted to eastern Indiana and western Ohio.
Hamilton, Hendricks, Morgan and Johnson counties were among those with a heightened “watch” travel status late Thursday, according to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security. That means only essential travel is recommended. Marion, Shelby and Hancock counties had a travel advisory, the lowest level, which means drivers should use caution.
