As of 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, the National Weather Service reported 9 inches of snow at Fort Wayne International Airport – setting a record for the day – on top of 1 inch that was already on the ground. At Huntertown, 7 inches fell by 9 p.m. Monday, with 2 inches having fallen in the previous hour. National Serv-All has suspended all trash and recycling collections for Wednesday. All collections for the rest of the week will be performed one day later than usual: Wednesday work on Thursday, Thursday work on Friday, and Friday work on Saturday. The Macbeth Road Landfill will remain open.
Many area school systems announced 2-hour delay Tuesday night, while Fort Wayne Community Schools waited until 6 a.m. today to decide to cancel school today. A Facebook posting Tuesday night about FWCS' decision to wait until today to check on road conditions before deciding on whether to delay or close brought nearly 70 angry responses within 7 minutes. The posting was removed within an hour.
