Snow developed across portions of central Indiana ahead of an approaching area of low pressure. Plentiful moisture combined with strong isentropic lift produced a widespread area of heavy snow. This winter system led to the first January winter storm warning since 2014. Snow fell starting late Friday night and continued through Saturday night.  During the afternoon on Saturday, temperatures slowly climbed above freezing across south central Indiana which led to lower amounts of snow. Snowfall totals ranged from 4 inches to as high as 9 inches in Owen County. The 6.9inches of snow at Indianapolis tied the snowfall record for the day.
