Ice Storm in Outagamie, Wisconsin

The highest ice totals across Outagamie County included 0.36 inches near New London and 0.25 inches in Little Chute.

A low-pressure system tracking through southern Wisconsin and northern Michigan brought a wintry mix of freezing rain and sleet to the region from the early morning through around midday on Thursday (4/02) before changing over to rain by the afternoon. Around 1 to 1.5 inches of sleet fell across much of north-central Wisconsin with one quarter to one half of an inch of freezing rain accumulation across central and portions of east-central Wisconsin. Over 65,000 customers were reported without power during the worst part of the storm. A 56 year old man died on the interstate in Brown County as a result of the slippery roadways.
