| Episode Narrative | A deepening surface low pressure system tracked across northern Illinois into southern lower Michigan. The low produced a band of heavy snow and gusty winds across portions of South-central and East-central Wisconsin. A period of freezing rain deposited 0.10 to 0.20 of an inch of ice before changing over to all snow. Maximum snowfall totals of 6 to 7 inches fell across northwest Fond Du Lac, Green Lake, and Marquette counties. Snow totals in the counties of Sauk, Columbia, northern Dane, Dodge, and Sheboygan were only in the 2 to 5 inch range due to a mixture of rain, sleet, and freezing rain changing to snow. There were several media reports of broken tree branches, felled trees, and some scattered power outages due to the weight of the wet snow and freezing rain along with gusty winds to 30 to 35 knots (40 mph). An isolated gust to 55 knots (64 mph) was measured at the Sheboygan County Airport (KSBM) at 1513CST. In Sheboygan County the Sheriff Department reported at least a dozen vehicle accidents due to slippery streets and driving too fast for road conditions, and there were 19 reports of trees or branches down on power-lines in this county. Near Theresa in northeast Dodge County, a roll-over resulted in one injury (indirectly related). |
