Overview
|
Heavy lake effect snow fell over the lake shore counties of northeast Wisconsin on January 14-15, 2018, as a prolonged period of easterly winds developed ahead of a low pressure system. More than a foot of snow fell across most of Door County, with more than eight inches across much of Kewaunee and Manitowoc counties. A general snowfall of two to four inches was reported across the remainder of north-central and northeast Wisconsin as the low pressure system moved across the state. The cold air mass resulted in a dry, fluffy snow.
