An area of scattered snow showers over central and southeastern portions of central Indiana this morning may produce localized areas of slick roads as a light coating of snow quickly accumulates in spots. Additionally, wind gusts up to 40 MPH will be possible with these snow showers. If traveling this morning, allow for extra time and be prepared for rapidly fluctuating conditions. Slow down and allow extra space between vehicles, and be alert for slick spots, even after snow has passed.

The news is coming out that Grateful Dead founding member Bob Weir died today, January 10, 2026. He was 78.

Here is a film image the Bloomingtonian's Jeremy Hogan captured at Further Fest, 1996 in Bonner Springs, Kansas. Weir is performing with his band, RatDog. If I remember correctly, there were some multiple strobe effect lights on stage, and somehow I caught this image. It's been 30 years ago.

ATLANTA — Indiana University fans brought the noise inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Jan. 9, 2026, as the Hoosiers faced Oregon in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. Indiana delivered a highlight-filled rout, punctuated by D’Angelo Ponds’ pick-six and a relentless offense led by quarterback Fernando Mendoza, with Kaelon Black and Elijah Sarratt finding the end zone. The celebration spilled into the postgame as confetti fell, the trophy was hoisted by Curt Cignetti and the players after Indiana’s 56-22 win over the Ducks.
