How it works

  1. Official sources only

    County sheriff pages, the Indiana travel status map and the National Weather Service. Never social media or news copies.

  2. Checked every few minutes

    Every 30 minutes in calm weather, every 5 minutes as soon as a winter alert covers the state.

  3. Never an old status

    If a source cannot be confirmed recently, the page says so and links to it, instead of showing yesterday's level.
