Event narrative

Storm-total accumulation of 3 to 6 inches over the northwest half of the county and much lower amounts in the southeast half. Highest total of 5.0 inches observed in Waterford.

Wider weather episode

Colder air wrapped into southern Wisconsin as low pressure slowly exited through the Upper Great Lakes. Moisture and energy came together and lifted through southeast Wisconsin early Sunday morning. A narrow band of heavy snow from Milwaukee to Elkhorn, roughly 15 miles wide, dropped a swath of 4 to 6 inches of wet snow. Visibility was reduced to a quarter to eighth mile at times, and slushy accumulations caused slippery conditions on roads under the heaviest snow band.
