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.

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
