"They're bad, really bad," Lake County, Indiana resident Jim Fleeger said. "Just the road conditions are bad; 65's closed down south of here. And, then the back roads here, north and south roads, are pretty much drifted over." "I hate that happened south of here, you know the truck jack-knifed," Dumas said. "It's a person's life involved, you know? You can replace freight. You can't replace a person."
