The Snowfall & Lake Effect Truth: We rarely get huge, crippling snowstorms. The average snowfall is only about 4 inches at a time, and we often avoid the heavy "Lake Effect" snow that hits cities closer to Lake Michigan.

The Long Haul: Be prepared for winter to last from November until April. Consistent warm weather (60s and 70s) usually doesn't arrive until May.

School Shutdowns: Fort Wayne schools (like FWCS and NACS) prioritize student safety. Closures are often called for extreme cold (wind chills below -10°F) or heavy ice/snow that makes bus travel unsafe. Schools typically use a 2-hour delay first, or switch to an eLearning day instead of canceling entirely.

Three Essential Pro Tips:
Car Care: How to save your car's undercarriage from road salt corrosion (hint: regular washing is key!).

Fuel Safety: A quick trick to keep your gas tank at least half-full to avoid frozen fuel lines.

Sanity Check: Why you must plan a small getaway or visit the Botanical Gardens to beat the January/February sunshine slump!
