I can remember closing one or the other however I can't ever recall closing both at the same time. I-65 totally closed north of West Lafayette I-94 also closed; no timetable for reopening INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana State Police closed an 88-mile mile stretch of I-65 Sunday over concerns that road conditions had become too hazardous. Police said weather conditions had become so severe that "INDOT plow crews cannot stay ahead of the storm." To prevent motorists from driving in "extremely hazardous" conditions, police closed I-65 from mile marker 172 in Lafayette to U.S. 12/20 in Gary. I-94 was also closed between the Illinois state line and the Michigan City exit on U.S. 421. No timetable was given for when the roads would be reopened. We got about 12"-16" of snow which isn't bad it's just that during the evening into the early morning hours the wind was howling from the NW causing a lot of drifting. The temp outside is -11 with colder temps predicted for tonight. Let me edit that temp it's now -16. I am going to wait till it warms up to about -1 or 0 then go outside and look for my driveway.

Agreed. My thermometer is at 15 below. Literally EVERYTHING is shut down here in White Co. Just going to be a putz day around the house with mama and our pooch. Probably won't attempt anything outside until late tomorrow, or Wed. Sure glad I don't have livestock to deal with, anymore.

There are many days I miss the farm. But when I remember heading to the milkhouse on subzero mornings let alone the regular chores...I don't miss it one bit. I do however, stop and give thanks many days for the farmers hard at it out there, in my case mostly the dairymen since that is most of my relatives.

Saw a squirrel using a GPS to locate his buried stash.

I had to go into the Vincennes WalMart yesterday morning and have a RX filled .... had some time to kill so I was wandering around the store when I came across the meat cases .... empty. Folks freak out every time a weather person makes a prediction .... if it is a test as to how we will react under a real emergency then we failed miserably. We ended up getting about 3" of snow and some cold temperatures. Not that bad ..... unless you believe the weather and LEO reports that claim you will be killed instantly if you venture outside.
