The potent winter storm that rolled through the area Monday afternoon into the overnight hours Tuesday brought heavy snow and kept road crews busy all through the night.
Plow drivers with the cities, county and the Indiana Department of Transportation were doing their best to keep up with the snow that was falling at times at rates over one inch per hour. Early Tuesday morning, crews in the city of Warsaw were seen using dump trucks and skid loaders fixed with augers to clear snow from downtown streets. INDOT plows and salt trucks were seen going back and forth along area state highways and along US 30.
