Green Bay, WI – A powerful winter storm is bringing up to two feet of snow and blizzard conditions across northern Wisconsin through Monday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, snowfall totals of 12 to 24 inches are expected across the region, with localized amounts near 30 inches possible in far northeast Wisconsin. The storm is producing heavy snow rates of 2 to 4 inches per hour, sharply reducing visibility to around one-quarter mile or less in some areas.
Forecasters say the heaviest snow will continue through Sunday afternoon across much of northern Wisconsin. A temporary lull in the heaviest bands may develop across north-central Wisconsin later Sunday afternoon into early evening. However, another round of heavier snowfall is expected to arrive late Sunday night and continue overnight into Monday.
Additional accumulations of 7 to 16 inches are forecast by early Monday afternoon, adding to totals already falling across the region.
Increasing northeast to north winds are expected to intensify overnight and into Monday morning, creating blizzard or near-blizzard conditions across multiple counties. Blowing snow combined with falling snow will significantly reduce visibility and make travel extremely hazardous.
Motorists should expect snow-covered roads, drifting snow, and very low visibility, particularly during the Monday morning commute, which officials say could be severely impacted.
Several counties have already implemented tow bans, and some communities have declared snow emergencies as crews work to keep major roadways open.
The Blizzard Warning remains in effect until 4 p.m. Monday, with conditions expected to gradually improve later Monday afternoon as snowfall tapers and winds begin to ease.
Young drivers, students, and early-morning commuters may experience significant delays as road crews work to clear accumulating snow.
