Who doesn't love drama in Lake County?

 

[chef larry]

Does anyone know when the travel ban will be lifted in Hobart / Lake County. A friend of the daughters was stopped by the police on her way to work.

Looks as if shortly after they freed that plow, 5pm -1130pm, on its westbound trip it may have ditched again, locking westbound again until an hour ago

C. Larry did she get a ticket?

Cannot believe 10s still closed

Rt 2 is still closed. WGN just showed a bunch of cars stuck on 2. 30 people spent the night at the Lowell I.S.P. post.

Traffic just cleared up, but their still looks to be something else off the road

C. Larry did she get a ticket?

No she didn't. She was on her way to work and got stopped and was told emergency vehicles only and to tell her boss this.

Did he stop the thousand other people on the road?

Looks about 25 minutes ago they changed from travel warning to travel watch.

DHS: County Travel Status

Heart attack snow indeed. Apparently there was a snow plow rule of no closer than 4 feet from anyone's property so it can freeze and no on can go to work with out a 4x4. Low gear was required on the snowthrower, but 3 neighbors will be happy when they get home and see they don't have to shovel. When I got back home I did notice any area cleared off is melting nicely. I'm probably almost smelly enough to attend a gun show.

GB, you able to sneak away to Blythe's sometime this morning, or is there too much money to be made today?

 

[bulletsmith]

This don't drive on the roads crap makes me want to just go driving around... Tell me I can't leave my home...

"Porter Co: THE PORTER COUNTY SNOW STATE OF EMERGENCY HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL NOON, at which time it will expire, and roads in unincorporated Porter County remain closed to all vehicles, with the only permissible travel by the public is in case of emergency. The roads still are dangerous for travel. The Porter County Highway Department is out working to clear snow. Main roads and arteries will be given first priority, followed by subdivisions."

19 minute ago: "Lake county state of emergency has been lifted. Still remains for Jasper, Newton, Porter and Laporte counties."

So what law is being broken if you drive in PORTER county right now?
What type of ticket will you get?

BTW GB this is the PERFECT example of how to trap a wild horse.
You build one side of the fence at a time.
A generation ago I'm sure this don't drive/stay off the road/get a ticket did not exist
But this generation is OK with it.

Next generation it will be show your papers.

Double talk for orange / warning says to stay home. Don't see any difference between red and orange. Do not pass go and do not collect $200.00

 

[Ericpwp]

Absurdity. If you cause an issue, fine, but otherwise.

 

[chef larry]

Will I get a ticket if I walk two blocks to the local gas station to get gas for my snow blower?
