INDOT readies for late winter storm

0

Preparations are now underway for winter weather expected to hit Indiana late tonight and Monday. The Indiana Department of Transportation reminds motorists to be cautious if traveling in what could be hazardous conditions. 

INDOT is monitoring several weather forecasts, and the latest information from the National Weather Service predicts snow over the next 72 hours ranging between wintry mix in southern Indiana and up to 8 inches in northwest Indiana. About half of Indiana’s 92 counties are under a Winter Weather Advisory, mainly in northern and central Indiana.

Since late last week, INDOT yellow trucks have been pretreating interstates and state highways with a salt-water solution. Once the snow and ice begin falling, crews will switch from spraying salt brine to plowing and salting.

With this being such a mild winter, INDOT urges motorists to get back into winter driving habits. It’s been several weeks since roads have been covered with snow. Drive snow smart, give yourself extra time and limit non-essential travel during the heaviest snow.

INDOT has the following resources to respond to this late winter weather event:

  • 1,092 Snow plows
  • 200,000 tons of salt
  • 100,000 gallons of brine
  • 1,843 employees on call covering 28,000 lane miles
  • All regional districts have around the clock crews working 12-hour shifts to battle the snow

Motorists are urged to:

  • Slow down and stay behind the snowplows. The road behind the plow will be the safest place to drive. Allow at least ten car lengths between your vehicle and snowplows or hopper spreaders.
  • Do not pass. The plows are wide, and sometimes a group of trucks will work in tandem to clear snow quickly, especially on major highways.
  • Be particularly aware of black ice conditions on surfaces such as bridge decks and entrance and exit ramps late tonight and the early hours of tomorrow morning.
  • Remember that technology helps, but only to a point. Four-wheel drive, anti-lock brakes and traction control are beneficial advancements in today’s cars, trucks and SUVs, but they cannot take the place of good driving habits and the need to reduce speed on snowy or icy roads

Purdue to Face Vermont in NCAA Tournament First Round

0

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue men’s basketball was rewarded for its outstanding season Sunday as it was revealed that the Boilermakers will be the No. 4 seed in the Midwest Region and face 13th-seeded Vermont in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday.

Tip will be at 7:27 p.m. ET with the pre-game on WSLM 1220 AM and 97.9 FM at 6:27p.

The owners of two of the greatest nicknames in college athletics, the Boilermakers and Catamounts, will face off in the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, with the winner advancing to face the winner of fifth-seeded Iowa State and 12th-seeded Nevada in the second roundSaturday. Tip times and television assignments will be announced at a later time.

Purdue’s No. 4 seed is its highest since earning a 3-seed in the 2011 tournament. It is Purdue’s 29th NCAA Tournament appearance and 10th top-four seed.

The Boilermakers enter the NCAA Tournament with a 25-7 overall mark and as the 2017 Big Ten regular-season champions by two games. Purdue has won 11 of its last 14 games and finished the season ranked No. 13 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. Purdue is 1-of-7 teams nationally (Purdue, Kansas, Arizona, Villanova, Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky) to be ranked in all 37 AP polls since the start of last year.

Led by National Player of the Year candidate and Big Ten Player of the Year Caleb Swanigan, Purdue brings a balanced lineup into this year’s NCAA Tournament. Boasting one of the nation’s best frontcourts in Swanigan and Isaac Haas (30.7 points per game combined), the Boilermakers also rely on one of the nation’s top perimeter attacks, ranking seventh nationally in 3-point percentage (.406) and having five players with at least 42 made 3-pointers. Purdue has set a school record for 3-pointers made in a season with 288.

Vermont, located in Burlington, Vermont, enters the NCAA Tournament with a 29-5 overall record and owners of the nation’s longest winning streak at 21 games. The Catamounts sport an efficient offensive attack, averaging 73.6 points per game and shooting 49.6 percent from the field. Anthony Lamb, a 6-foot, 6-inch freshman leads Vermont in scoring (12.6) and rebounding (5.4), while Payton Henson (6-8, 215) averages 11.4 points per game. Junior point guard Trae Bell-Haynes was the America East Player of the Year after averaging 11.1 points and 3.8 assists per game.

It will mark the second meeting between the two teams as Purdue defeated Vermont a year ago in Mackey Arena, 107-79.
