episode_narrativeThe coldest arctic air of the winter season enveloped southeast and southcentral Wisconsin, resulting in many school closings and cancellation of evening activities. There were 3 frostbite injury cases reported in Milwaukee county. Maximum temperatures only reached zero at Madison and 5 above at Milwaukee, roughly 20 degrees below normal. Morning lows in the 7 below to 14 below range, coupled with northwest winds of 10 to 20 mph, generated wind chills of 30 below to 50 below zero. A water pipe froze in a Watertown (Dodge county) church. The resulting flooding damaged the building's 2nd and 3rd floors. Electrical lines in the cities of North Fond du Lac (Fond du Lac county), and Sheboygan (Sheboygan county) contracted and snapped due to the extreme cold air. About 2000 customers were without power for about 1 hour.
