Replying to Huge storm
THE CONSENSUS OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION SUGGESTS THAT A MAJOR
WINTER STORM WILL AFFECT SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY. IT APPEARS THAT ADDITIONAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ON TOP OF
THE MONDAY SNOWFALL WILL TOP 6 INCHES SOUTH OF A LINE FROM LONE
ROCK TO BEAVER DAM TO SHEBOYGAN. A FOOT OR MORE IS POSSIBLE SOUTH
OF A LINE FROM MONROE TO WAUKESHA TO MILWAUKEE.
VERY COLD STORMS WITH LONG DURATIONS LIKE THIS IN THE PAST HAVE
PRODUCED 2 FEET OR MORE OF SNOW IN SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE TEENS AND LOWER 20S DURING MOST OF THE
EVENT... DECREASING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SALT. INCREASING WINDS
TUESDAY NIGHT MAY RESULT IN BLIZZARD CONDITIONS... ESPECIALLY NEAR
THE LAKE SHORE. THE IMPACTS OF THIS STORM COULD BE HIGH GIVEN IT
OCCURS DURING THE WORK WEEK. IN ADDITION... SNOW REMOVAL CREWS WILL
BE CHALLENGED BY THE MORE THAN 48 HOURS OF ACCUMULATING SNOW THAT
COULD REALLY STRESS RESOURCES.
