Update, Feb. 22: GoFundMe fundraiser temporarily suspended for adjusted language; timeline for reopening unknown .............................. Imagine waking up to the smell of smoke. And within hours, your house is burned beyond repair, nearly everything you own destroyed. That's what happened to the Dixon family at 7826 Tanager Lane.

In the best Eagle Nest tradition, residents pitched in to help each other as this week's storm dropped more than 11.1 inches of snow on the city -- the largest snowfall in more than 10 years. Unfortunately, many residents were trapped inside due to the bitter cold, snow-covered driveways and horrid road conditions after the storm. That’s why the Board is looking to put together a list of volunteers to assist seniors or others with challenges who may be shut in by this week's weather. We’re looking for representatives for each street to reach out with a friendly knock on the door or a phone call to ensure all is well with their neighbors. Or maybe even pick up an extra item or two at the store when you’re out. New! Eagle Nest Wellness Team It’s called the Eagle Nest Wellness Team. Want in? Contact Board President Scott Thien at scottthien@comcast.net or 317-902-3103 and we’ll get you plugged in, either as someone who wants to be on our check-in list or as someone to do ...

We want to thank residents for their patience and understanding during today's snowstorm and our subsequent plowing efforts. Indianapolis officially received 8.6 inches of snow, breaking the previous Jan. 25 record of 4.9 inches set in 1978. (Over the past two days, the city received 10.6 inches, the most since 10.2 inches fell on March 24, 2018.) That much continuous snow made it impossible to  complete the neighborhood in one job. For those who may be new or need a refresher, the initial goal in any big storm is to make Eagle Nest passable, then follow up with touchups. By the end of the day, we were in better shape than many area developments. But we know we have more work to do.  Problem areas remain Among the priorities: Several cul-de-sacs need further addressing; deep snow ruts need to be removed from intersections; and plows need to get closer to curbs throughout the development. We have reached out to our contractor and expect these issues will be resolved throughout ...

First off, we hope everyone is staying warm and safe during our first major snowstorm of 2026. Ah, Midwest life. Where things stand Our plowing contractor started about 2 p.m. and wrapped up work about 5 p.m. after making all eight miles of our roadways passable for police and emergency vehicles. Many cul-de-sacs were skipped initially so that our main roads could be addressed. If your court has not been plowed with at least one pass through, please let us know. In addition, we aware a few cul-de-sac driveways were unintentionally blocked by piles of snow, so our contractor will address those on Monday. What's next Another 2-3 inches of snow is possible through the night, so our team will be out again Monday for cleanup plowing. If you or our neighbors have vehicles parked in the roadway (namely along Tanager Lane, Teel Way or any cul-de-sac), please move them into your driveways so our plowing contractor can work efficiently and safely. The Board is not responsible for any plowed ...
