Ice Storm and Winter Storm in Indiana, January 5 to 6, 2005

A band of significant sleet accumulations occurred in many locations north of State Route 14 and south of US 6. Total sleet accumulations ranged from one half to one inch. In addition to the sleet, many locations received up to a quarter inch of freezing rain and a few inches of snow. North of US 6, 4 to 8 inches of snow fell in many locations. One fatality occurred in Steuben county, indirectly related to the storm. A 54 year old woman was killed after her car was struck by another vehicle that lost control on a snow covered curve on State Route 827. The driver of the other vehicle sustained minor injuries.

A significant ice storm affected portions of northern and central Indiana beginning early on the 5th of January and continuing into the 6th. Locations generally along and south of a Francesville to Fort Wayne line experienced ice accumulations ranging from a quarter inch to nearly 2 inches. Numerous reports of trees, tree limbs and power lines knocked down were received. The damage, combined with many areas of power outages and dangerous driving conditions forced schools in the area to close, with some remaining closed for several days as cleanup continued. Some locations were without power for nearly a week after the storm. The hardest hit counties were Grant, Jay and Blackford where 1.5 to 2 inches of ice accumulated, resulting in power loss to nearly 80 percent of all property in each county. One death, indirectly related to the storm, was reported in Adams county. A 44 year old man was found dead as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning. The gentleman was running a generator in his garage as a result of the power outage. Another resident of the home was not affected by the carbon monoxide. An injury was reported in Portland in Jay county. A firefighter was injured when a tree branch fell onto his head. The branch cracked the helmet and face mask and cut his face.
