La Crosse, WI – Snow and frigid temperatures continue to impact Wisconsin, with La Crosse and surrounding areas under a Winter Weather Advisory until early Thursday. Heavy snow and dangerous wind chills are creating hazardous travel conditions, particularly along Interstate 90.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in La Crosse, snowfall totals will range between 2 and 5 inches, with higher amounts in localized areas. Winds will gust up to 20 mph, making roads slick and reducing visibility. Wind chills could drop to -10°F to -30°F, increasing the risk of frostbite for exposed skin.
