(La Porte County, IN) - Believe it or not, people woke up this morning to a dusting of snow on the ground. It was snowing rather heavily before sunrise. Fortunately, the snow melted once it hit the warmer roads and the amount coming down began diminishing after sunrise.

La Porte County Highway Department Superintendent Duane Werner said the snow at this time of year is a bit surprising.

“I think Mother Nature is playing games with us at this point. I’m sure it’ll be gone before we know it,” Werner said.

Werner said there was no need to send out snowplows because there was no road accumulation.
