episode_narrativeAn intense winter storm moved across the central plains, toward the Great Lakes, producing a variety of severe winter weather over Northwest Wisconsin. Warm air moved into the region ahead of the storm, causing precipitation initially in the form of freezing rain. Ice accumulations of 4 to 5 inches were reported in Burnett, Washburn, and Ashland Counties. The freezing rain then changed over to snow, eventually producing from 5 to 18 inches, with the heavier amounts close to Lake Superior. The weight of the ice and snow caused trees, power lines, and roofs to collapse. As the storm moved away from the region, northwest winds increased, gusting to over 40 mph, causing near blizzard conditions, and wind chills as low as 70 below zero.
