Heavy Snow in Douglas, Wisconsin

Snowfall totals across the county were in the 6 to 10 inch range. A high amount of 12.6 inches was reported on the southwest side of Superior.

A strong area of low pressure developed across the High Plains on the 17th and moved across the Dakotas on the 18th and into northern Wisconsin on the morning of the 19th. This led to a prolonged period of snowfall across the region. The track of this low was favorable for lake and terrain enhancement along the Bayfield Peninsula into northern Douglas County. Additionally, a gravity wave set up across northern Douglas County leading to enhanced snowfall amounts as well. Storm totals of 8 to 15 inches were reported across the northern reaches of Douglas, Bayfield and Ashland counties for the event.
