Many roads across northern and central Indiana remained icy or snow-covered Wednesday morning as temperatures slowly rose above freezing. Indiana State Police reopened a 30-mile stretch of Interstate 69 northeast of Indianapolis after closing it for about four hours due to icy conditions. At least 12 people died in car crashes on rain and ice-slickened roads Tuesday
-- two in Missouri, two in Kansas, one in Oklahoma, four in Kentucky, one in Ohio and two in Indiana. In Oregon, the Portland metro region, the Columbia Gorge and the northern Willamette Valley dug out and awaited more stormy weather on Christmas Eve. The National Weather Service warned residents of northern Indiana about a significant flooding threat this weekend because of expected heavy rains later in the week and a rapid snow melt.
