Yes, it's sludge. Snow will likely start melting soon. That means slush (and sludge). But with temps still in the 10s & 20s at night, everything can refreeze. Whether you're a resident or a business, please keep your sidewalks clear of snow and ice. And sludge. 🧂🧂🧂🧂

⚠️Marion County downgrading Travel Status⚠️ Effective at midnight, Marion County will downgrade to a Travel Advisory Status. Please continue to drive with caution, as there are icy road conditions. View the updated travel advisory map at www.in.gov/dhs/travel-advisory-map/.
