Ice Storm in Iron, Wisconsin

Freezing rain occurred during the early morning hours of the 4th and ended shortly before sunrise. Ice accumulations to upwards of a quarter of an inch were seen along the State Route 77 corridor in the north-central part of the county.

An area of low pressure moved from the Central Plains to the western Great Lakes the 3rd into the 4th quickly after the previous system. This low tracked more to the south from southern Minnesota into northern Wisconsin. This storm track resulted in heavier snowfall across northern Minnesota and areas of freezing rain across northwest Wisconsin. Ice accumulations across parts of northwest Wisconsin reached into the 0.25 to 0.30 range with a high report of 0.35 in Spooner.
