The wider storm

An area of low pressure moved from the Southern Plains the morning of the 4th to the Wisconsin/Illinois border on the morning of the 5th. This put northwest Wisconsin on the northwest side of the low leading to heavy snowfall across the region. Widespread snowfall totals of 3 to 8 inches were reported with higher amounts in Iron County to 8 to 12 inches. A high report of 15 inches was recorded in Gile. The snow was heavy and wet and led to damaged power lines in Burnett County along with strong winds.
