| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A spring winter storm deposited heavy, wet snow in a narrow region from around Janesville (Rock co.) northeast to near Fond du Lac (Fond du Lac co.). The storm consisted of two round of snow, with a break during the 0400 to 0800 CST timeframe. Some of the snow melted as it fell. Southeast winds gusting to around 30 mph helped lower visibilities to below 100 yards in open areas around midday on the 12th... resulting in numerous vehicle accidents. Thunder was also reported at several locations, with the convective snow resulting in snowfall rates of 2 inches per hour at the height of the storm. Maximum storm accumulations reached 16.5 inches at Juneau (Dodge co.), 12 inches in Lake Mills and Ft. Atkinson (Jefferson co.), 11 inches in Milton (Rock co.), 10 to 11 inches in extreme eastern Dane county, and 8 to 9 inches in extreme southern Fond du Lac county, northwest Washington county, northwest Waukesha county, northwest Walworth county, and southeast Columbia county. |
