Much of Indiana took the day after Christmas off as a rare blizzard swirled across the state Wednesday, dumping snow deep enough to strand snowplows in some areas and making travel treacherous for those returning home from holiday visits.

OFF THE ROAD: Chris Spicer of M & M Towing, pulls a car out of a ditch at Clifty Drive and Ivy Tech Drive on his first call of the day Wednesday morning. Though the local storm did not live up to the blizzard warnings that were issued Tuesday, the snow and ice that did fall in the Courierarea made driving difficult. (Staff photo by Ken Ritchie)

NEXT TIME WON�T BE AS MUCH FUN: Don Poling cleared his neighbor�s driveway after finishing his own on State Street on Wednesday. Poling said his snow blower was a new toy so he was happy to use it to help his neighbors. (Staff photo by Ken Ritchie)
