| episode_narrative | A major winter storm deposited heavy snow over Southcentral and parts of Southeast Wisconsin. For some counties it was the worst storm in many years. Snowfalls reported include 15 inches at Berlin and Markesan (Green Lake county); 14 inches at Marshall (Dane county); 13.4 inches in Madison (Dane county); 12 inches in Dodgeville (Iowa county), Wisconsin Dells (Columbia county), Montello (Marquette county), and Plymouth (Sheboygan county); 10 inches at Baraboo (Sauk county), Belmont (Lafayette county), and Fond du Lac (Fond du Lac county); 8.1 inches in Sullivan (Jefferson county) and Sheboygan (Sheboygan county); and 6 inches in Oconomowoc (Waukesha county) and Janesville (Rock county).The snow became convective as lightning and thunder put on a show in the afternoon hours. Snowfall rates peaked at 3 to 4 inches per hour, with Madison gathering 8 inches in only 2 hours! Coupled with northeast to northwest winds gusting to 40 mph this snowfall rate lowered visibilities to near zero at times. Snowplow crews were pulled off the roads in many areas by 1900CST. There were at least 800 vehicle accidents (indirectly related to the storm), and 6 people were briefly hospitalized. Airplane flights were delayed several hours. Interstate 90/94 was closed in stretches around Madison. Scattered power outages resulted in about 500 customers loosing electricity in the Sheboygan to Milwaukee area. Many schools canceled classes, or dismissed students early; and many evening high school basketball games were canceled. |
