Indiana Winter Profile

Indiana sits in the classic mid-latitude winter belt — enough snow to regularly close schools, not enough to build infrastructure for it. Across the 12 Indiana cities covered by SnowSense™, average annual snowfall is 30 inches. South Bend receive up to 67 inches in a typical winter; lower-latitude cities like Evansville see closer to 12.

School-closure decisions in Indiana often hinge on precipitation type as much as accumulation. Storms that cross the region frequently transition from snow to sleet to freezing rain and back, and the difference between a four-inch snow event and a one-inch ice-glaze event is invisible until the storm arrives. Districts tend to close preemptively when ice risk is in the forecast.
