Good morning, Elkhart.

The Michiana Boat and Sports Show opened Friday and is running through Sunday at the Century Center, giving local families a chance to explore boat exhibits and sports demonstrations.

Michiana businesses reported a salt shortage late on Friday due to supply chain delays, leaving local retailers with limited stock for customers (industry officials expect further delays).

Stores advised shoppers to check availability before visiting.

Michiana residents face challenges as freezing temperatures drop, causing icy roads and supply issues.

Local centers report increased need for support and businesses struggle with salt shortages through Monday.

Friday’s sub-zero temperatures and lake effect snow put outdoor workers and residents at risk.

Local agencies advised dressing in layers (with insulated gloves and boots), taking warm breaks, plowing roads instead of using salt, and watching for early signs of frostbite.

Heidi Harshman of Zolman's Best One Tire & Auto Care advises drivers to carry jumper cables, a tow truck number, a full tank and proper windshield wipers in freezing weather.

She warns that warm water can damage the battery and glass — advice meant to prevent roadside trouble.
