Cedar Lake, IN – Cedar Lake’s public safety crews have been working nonstop through a weekend of relentless snow and extreme cold, according to an update posted Saturday night by the Cedar Lake Police Department.
According to police, Public Works, Parks, Police, and Fire/Medics have been out around the clock battling “never-ending accumulating snow” while temperatures remain dangerously low. Road conditions remain slick and visibility limited as snow continues to fall across northwest Indiana.
Officials said officers responded to more than 37 calls for service and eight vehicle crashes over the weekend. The department also credited Southcom dispatchers for managing a heavy influx of emergency calls.
Local crews are urging drivers to stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary. Plows have been working continuously, but roads remain hazardous due to drifting snow and cold wind chills.
As of Sunday morning, snow is still falling across much of Lake County, and travel conditions are expected to remain difficult through the evening.
Residents are encouraged to check local alerts for updates and give road crews extra space while they continue clearing major routes.
