Wisconsin – Snow streaks sideways across highways this morning as strong winds whip across northeast Wisconsin. Headlights fade into curtains of white, and plows struggle to keep lanes clear as winter tightens its grip during peak year-end travel.
A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect for Green Bay and surrounding counties through Monday afternoon. Additional snowfall of 2 to 4 inches is expected, combined with northwest wind gusts near 45 mph. Blowing and drifting snow sharply reduce visibility, especially on open roads and bridges.
Travel conditions deteriorate quickly after sunrise. Even treated roads refreeze as temperatures hover near 29 degrees, with wind chills in the teens. Drivers on I-41 and rural routes should expect sudden whiteouts and snow-covered lanes. Plan extra time, slow down, and keep emergency supplies in your vehicle.
Snow tapers later Monday, but the wind does not cooperate. Blowing snow lingers through much of the day, keeping travel hazardous. Tree limbs may snap under gusts, and scattered power outages remain possible.
Behind the storm, colder air pours in. Monday night turns sharply colder, with lows near 9 degrees. Tuesday brings another round of snow chances, mainly during the afternoon, with light accumulation possible. Conditions calm Tuesday night, but the cold deepens.
Looking toward New Year’s Eve Wednesday and New Year’s Day 2026, Arctic air settles in. Wednesday stays mostly cloudy with highs near 20 degrees. New Year’s Day turns sunny but frigid, with highs around 10 degrees and wind chills well below zero. Wind chills of 10 to 20 below may arrive late week.
Secure outdoor items today and reconsider non-essential travel. Winter is firmly in control as 2025 ends. How are road conditions where you are right now?
