Lake effect snow will continue across Vilas County. Additional
accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are expected, with localized
amounts up to 6 inches possible in the northwest corner of the

be very difficult due to the heavy lake effect snow.
Blustery northwest winds will gust from 25 to 35 mph today, with
gusts approaching 40 mph on the Door Peninsula. This may lead to
blowing and drifting snow in open areas, particularly across the
north.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

region on Saturday and Saturday night.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotters are requested to forward snowfall measurements and wind
gusts greater than 40 mph to the National Weather Service in
