| Episode Narrative | The first widespread snow event of the 2008-09 winter season for south-central and southeast Wisconsin consisted of 1 to 4.8 inches of snow accumulations. Accumulations of 4 to 4.8 inches occurred in eastern Columbia County, northwestern Dodge County, western Fond du Lac County, and southeastern Green Lake County. Amounts tapered off to around an inch along the Illinois border and near Lake Michigan. The 4.8 inches was measured near Pardeeville in Columbia County. Collectively, several dozen vehicle accidents were reported on icy and slick roads in south-central and southeast Wisconsin. In Jefferson County, a fatal crash tied up traffic on STH 26 near Johnson Creek for about an hour. The driver of a vehicle that slid into a snowplow truck died at the scene (indirect fatality). Other indirect deaths due to vehicle accidents include one in Sauk County and one in Kenosha County. Indirect injuries due to vehicle accidents include 4 in Kenosha County, 3 in Sheboygan County, 2 in Sauk County, and 1 in Washington County. Several schools started 2 hours late. Synoptically, the snow was associated with a low pressure that moved northeast through Iowa, Illinois and southern Michigan. Meanwhile another low pressure dropped southeast across Wisconsin to merge with the other low over lower Michigan. West of Madison the precipitation started off as a mixture of snow and rain, while east of Madison the precipitation was all snow. |
