"Winter Storm Chaos: Snow-Covered Roads Cause Crashes and Travel Disruptions Across Chicago, Cleveland, and Michiana"

Heavy snow and low temperatures led to treacherous road conditions across the Chicago area, causing spin-outs, crashes, and jackknifed trucks, particularly in northwest Indiana. Road salt became ineffective as temperatures dropped, and multiple vehicles spun out on area roads and highways. Despite efforts to clear the roads, the snowfall snarled traffic and caused major traffic issues, with a winter storm warning in effect for Indiana. Wind chill advisories were also issued, with temperatures expected to warm up next week.
