(LaPorte County, IN) - Be careful out there.

The roads are mostly wet but slick in spots.

The winds are also strong, causing snow to blow over some

stretches of road.

La Porte County highway department superintendent Bob Young says

more than a dozen trees had fallen before 12 p.m.

Young said his crews were on top of the situation.

The strong winds from the north is causing more erosion along the Lake Michigan shoreline.

Brian Flanigan of Service 1 Marine in New Buffalo said the back porches on homes in

Long Beach today were being hit by waves.

The weather is supposed to remain like winter until the weekend when temperatures

are forecast to climb back into the 50’s.
