A low pressure system produced an inch or two of snow in east-central Wisconsin as it moved from Illinois to Lake Huron. A woman was killed (indirect) in a three-vehicle crash on State Highway 55 just south of County Highway VV. She was northbound on Highway 55, on a stretch of the highway that was slippery due to snow, when she lost control of her minivan. The minivan struck another vehicle and then crossed the center line of the road and collided with a southbound semitrailer truck.
