Event narrative

Wet snow accumulation of 3-7 inches. Gusty winds of 25-35 mph with scattered small tree limbs down. Lesser amounts of snow near the lake.

Wider weather episode

Strong low pressure tracking from the southern Great Plains to the lower Great Lakes brought a prolonged period of wet snow to southern WI. Heavy snow totals occurred over south central WI, but with lesser amounts over eastern WI due to relatively mild temperatures and rain at times, especially near the lake. Lake enhanced snow did result in heavier snow along and near the Kettle Moraine over eastern WI. Gusty winds of mainly 25-35 mph and heavy wet snow on tree limbs led to fallen tree limbs and some power outages over south central WI. Some vehicle slide-offs and accidents occurred.
