| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Strong warm air advection, focused into a narrow region by an upper level weather disturbance, triggered heavy snowfalls across parts of southcentral and eastcentral Wisconsin. Gusty northeast winds of 20 to 40 mph resulted in considerable blowing and drifting of the heavy, wet snow. Radar imagery suggested that the snowfall had a convective nature. A maximum of 13 inches fell at Dalton in southern Green Lake county. Other totals include 12 inches at Juneau (Dodge county), 10 inches at Portage (Columbia county) and in southeast Marquette county, 8 inches in Baraboo (Sauk county), and 6 to 7 inches across the southern parts of Fond du Lac and Sheboygan counties as well as the northern parts of Washington and Ozaukee counties. Numerous vehicle accidents were reported, resulting in several indirectly-related injuries. |
