Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeYet another bitter cold air mass pushed across southern Wisconsin in the wake of a winter storm. West winds of 13 to 17 knots (15 to 20 mph) with gusts to 26 to 35 knots (30 to 40 mph) generated wind chills of -20 to -34. Actual air temperatures at the start of this event ranged from -7 at Mineral Point (Iowa Co.) to 21 at Sheboygan, but eventually dropped to a range from -5 at the Lone Rock Airport (Sauk Co.) to a +5 at Timmerman Field in Milwaukee County. A newspaper carrier about 3 miles east of Monticello (Green Co.) died due to exposure after his vehicle got stuck in a snow drift. In Sheboygan County, a man in the Town of Holland died within 1/2 mile of his home due to exposure after his vehicle was involved in an accident. Although not related to the bitter cold wind chills, a vehicle roll-over in southern Sauk County during the overnight hours resulted in 6 people suffering indirectly-related injuries (vehicle moving too fast for slippery conditions). In the city of Milwaukee, the driver of a vehicle lost control on an icy patch on Interstate-43 and went over a guard rail and dropped 15 feet onto an onramp below. The driver suffered serious injuries.
