| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A tremendous late winter snowstorm brought record breaking snow to parts of central and east central Wisconsin. Eight to twelve inch accumulations fell north of a line from Wausau (Marathon county) to Marinette (Marinette county) and across the southern portions of Winnebago, Calumet and Manitowoc counties. The rest of central, east central and northeast Wisconsin received 12 to 30 inches of snow. The heaviest snowfall occurred in Waushara county, with reports of 30 inches in Mt. Morris, 28 inches in Hancock and Wautoma, and 26 inches at Pine River. The southern portions of Wood, Portage and Waupaca counties, as well as the southwest part of Outagamie county received over 20 inches. Some specific amounts for these areas included 21 inches at Wisconsin Rapids (Wood county), 22 inches in Port Edwards (Wood county), 20 inches in Stevens Point (Portage county), 21 inches at Boelter Lake (Portage county), and 24 inches at Hortonville (Outagamie county). Two March snowfall records were broken in Green Bay. The storm total of 17.5 inches and the 24 hour snowfall of 14.5 inches (between 600 am March 13th through 600 am March 14th) were both records for the month of March.Winds gusting as high as 30 to 35 mph caused additional problems across the area, with near-blizzard conditions reported at times. The combination of snow and wind made for treacherous travel conditions, resulting in numerous accidents. One accident in northern Wood county involved 14 vehicles, with seven people sustaining injuries. |
