Overview
|
A strong winter storm brought rain, snow and strong winds to the area Sunday into Monday morning. Over a foot of snow was reported across far north-central and far northeast WI, while totals were substantially lower across easts-central WI. The main impacts of the storm: several thousand people lost power, roads became ice or snow covered resulting in hazardous travel, heavy snow and blowing snow along with gusty winds resulted in very low visibility for motorists. Also, the storm brought much needed precipitation (rain/melted snow) to drought stricken northeast WI. |
Snow
Rain transitioned to a wintry mix and then snow Sunday afternoon and evening. The snow became heavy at times Sunday night with snowfall rates of 1-2" per hour across northern WI. Snowfall totals across eastern WI were considerably lower due to a slower transition to all snow, combined with a break in the heavier precipitation as some dry air worked into east-central WI for a few hours Sunday evening.
