A powerful winter storm blanketed all of northern Indiana with heavy snow and strong winds. This caused widespread whiteout conditions across the area with many roads becoming impassable due to drifting snowfall. Numerous schools and businesses were closed on Valentines day as a result of the dangerous weather. The blowing and drifting was so widespread, that many counties pulled the snow plows from the roads and declared travel restrictions to all but emergency vehicles. Two weather related deaths were reported, one in Ashley in Steuben county and the other in Springville in Laporte county. Both deaths were traffic accident related. Accumulations ranged from 6 inches across the far north, to 17 inches from White county towards Grant county.
