The local TV stations have not been much help either. I guess there's nothing to know? You'd think there would be some local news that two TV stations and a newspaper might think about covering.

I'm sorry...what? If it snows where you are, the police are allowed to force you to stay home? What in the ever living dystopian town do you live in or am I completely misunderstanding.
Some places in mountain towns the avalanche danger can rise to the level that authorities declare it illegal to leave any building, and violators will be arrested. It's called an "interlodge". Basically it's saying "it's so dangerous outside that we don't want to have to mobilize search and rescue just because your dumb ass couldn't follow the rules". Interlodges can potentially last for days.
Corollary: Indiana has no mountains. (Snowstorms in the midwest can trap you in the middle of BFE fairly easily on flat ground, however, with the wet sticky snow they tend to have.)
That actually makes sense, me here with my city brain not realizing the search crews added danger
If it snows "bad enough" this is very common. The roads are going to be hard to drive on, which leads to more accidents and just puts first responders in jeopardy. The day before a big snow the grocery stores are usually slammed.
LOL, you should be in a hurricane when word is out, "We're not saving your ass, not matter what. Good luck and god bless."
If it's dangerous to be out on the roads and they need to keep them clear for emergency vehicles, what would you suggest?
Im pretty sure they did not do a driving ban here during the 1998 ice storm that happened here. Heck I still had to walk to school climbing over trees and stuff.
Someone else's comment made me realize why it would be banned though, safety crews safety., not necessarily my safety. That makes more sense to me.
bUT maH RIteS! /s
100% not where my brain was going with this topic.
Road bans are not something I have ever witnessed here. I don't think they have ever done it here that I can recall.
