Law enforcement encourages you to stay off roads

SOUTH-CENTRAL, Ind. - Indiana State Police (ISP) are alerting residents to stay off the roads this morning.

Several inches of snow have fallen overnight. Roads are completely covered with a few inches, making driving challenging.

ISP Sgt. Stephen Wheeles commented, "Well, I was able to get out of my driveway (barely). The good news is that very little traffic is on our roads so far today." 

All Counties in south-central Indiana are under either a Travel Watch or Travel Warning.

Sgt. Wheeles recorded a video of road conditions on I-65 in Jackson County at 4:45 on Sunday morning.
