FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WFFT) — A quick moving system brought a wintry mix to northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio Thursday afternoon and evening.

Snowfall rates exceeded 1” per hour which resulted in reduced visibility and snow quickly piling up on the roadways.

The system impacted the evening commute and multiple accidents were reported across the region due to slick roadways.
