A rather surprising blast of snow caught many drivers in Indianapolis off-guard as a quick 1-2 inches fell in a very short amount of time early Thursday afternoon. This storm hit central Indiana as a major blizzard ripped through parts of the northern Plains.

The quick blast of snow slickened highways across Indianapolis leading to a few accidents, including a jack-knifed semi in the center media of southbound I-465 at W. 10th Street. Crews were able to keep the interstate open as they cleared the scene. The driver was injured and taken away in ambulance.

Rivers across southern IL crested Thursday afternoon after upwards of 7-inches of rain helped melt snow and filled rivers across the region. With several days of rising, the rivers across the region are finally starting to fall.

The Big Muddy River in Jackson County crested Thursday afternoon at moderate flood stage (28.39 feet) and is slowly beginning to fall. On December 20, the level was just under 7 feet, so the river has risen nearly 22 feet within a six-day’s time due to the rain and melted snow. Cold temperatures have even made some of the flood waters freeze in places.
