Meantime, some Michiana drivers were dodging cars stuck in snow banks, or getting stuck themselves.

The bypass, as always, was a prime spot for slide-offs.

Police say many people were driving too fast for the slippery road conditions.

This crash happened near Mayflower Road, at a blind curve, putting emergency personnel at risk to oncoming traffic.

Police say this can all be easily avoided.

"We hate to be repetitive but we want people to slow down give themselves time, the road conditions are horrible right now especially out here on the bypass where we are now, and the future doesn't look to promising for the weather so everyone just slow down use some common sense and drive safe," says Sgt. Bill Redman of the St. Joe County police department.

Police say there were a number of slide-offs and multi-car crashes throughout St. Joseph County Wednesday.

So far, no serious injuries have been reported.
