| episode_narrative | Extremely dense fog blanketed southcentral and southeast Wisconsin, resulting in at least 250 motor vehicle. Three people perished in accidents (on Highway 14 near Oregon, Dane Co., on Interstate 94 near Farmington, Jefferson Co., and in Green County). All 3 deaths were indirectly related to the dense fog). At least 40 people were injured (indirect injury). Most airline flights in and out of Madison, Milwaukee, and other airports were either delayed or cancelled. The excess atmoshperic moisture formed a frost layer of black ice on some road surfaces. Visibilities were reduced to zero to 1/4 mile. Rain fell earlier in the day on Dec 3rd and the winds were nearly calm during the fog period. Many schools opened 2 hour late. |
