(La Porte County, IN) - Police have been busy today responding to motor vehicle accidents as a result of what could be viewed as the first real taste of winter for the season.

 

A couple of inches of wet snow overnight and into this morning left roads slippery until plows could reach what was mostly slush on the traveling surface.

 

La Porte Street Department Director Jeff Batchelor said there was also ice underneath some of that slush, advising drivers to slow down and be especially careful at intersections where coming to a complete stop was sometimes difficult.

 

The snow is expected to turn into rain this afternoon, and then back to snow tonight.

 

Another one to two inches of snow is in the forecast, on top of the two of four inches of snow that fell overnight and this morning.
