URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
1045 AM CST Wed Dec 13 2017

...SNOW WILL SLOW TRAVEL TODAY...

.A complex weather system will bring accumulating snow to all of
the area today. The path of the system looks to be a little
further north than previous forecast. Wood, Portage, Waupaca, Waushara
and Winnebago counties should get less snow than earlier 
forecast, while areas over far northeast Wisconsin should see the 
highest amounts. In addition, wind gusts up to 30 mph will likely
cause blowing and drifting of snow this afternoon over northeast
Wisconsin.

The snow and blowing snow will produce slippery roads and 
sidewalks for those traveling by car or foot, and will create 
airline delays as well.
