...HEAVY SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS CONTINUE ACROSS EAST-CENTRAL
AND PORTIONS OF FAR NORTHEAST WISCONSIN, SNOW DIMINISHING TO
FLURRIES ELSEWHERE...

At 230 pm, radar and surface reports indicated that the snow had
diminished to scattered snow showers and flurries across central
and north-central Wisconsin. The snow was still falling, quite
heavily in places, across eastern Wisconsin. The combination of
snow and blowing and drifting snow was still creating very
difficult travel conditions in the east. There were some roads,
most notably Interstate 41 from Green Bay to Oshkosh, where the
wind had blown much of the snow off the road. That allowed the
snow remaining on the road to be smoothed down into a thin layer
of glare ice--resulting in extremely slippery pavement. Motorists
need to use extreme caution since what appears to be bare pavement
could be glare ice.

The remaining snow will gradually diminish from west to east
during the late afternoon, likely not ending along the lakeshore
until early evening. The north winds will also slowly diminish.
These factors should allow for a gradual improvement in travel
conditions across north-central and central Wisconsin late this
afternoon and this evening. Travel across east-central Wisconsin
is still not recommended except in the case of an emergency. If
you must travel in this area, keep a flashlight, food and water
in your vehicle. Be sure to start out with a full tank of fuel
prior to crossing open country. Travel conditions in the east will
probably not begin to improve until middle to late evening.
