...Snow Increasing With Slippery Travel Developing...

.A band of moderate to heavy snow across northeast Iowa and
southeast Minnesota will move into western Wisconsin through the
remainder of this afternoon. Snowfall rates may reach an inch per

possible. As the storm departs the region on Saturday, strong 
northwest winds will produce areas of blowing and drifting snow,
especially across northeast Iowa and southeast Minnesota along

...Snow, Freezing Drizzle Tonight...Slippery Travel...

.Snow will continue to fall across much of Wisconsin through mid

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
1139 AM CST Sat Jan 18 2020

...Whiteout Conditions at Times for Portions of Southeast
Minnesota and Northeast Iowa...

Strong and gusty northwest winds will continue to provide areas of
blowing and drifting snow, with the worst conditions and lowest
visibility reported across portions of southeast Minnesota and
northeast where whiteouts are occurring. Periods of greatly
reduced visibility can also be expected along the higher ridge
tops either side of the Mississippi River through the afternoon,
though widespread blizzard conditions are not likely.

If traveling through the afternoon and early evening, especially
over the ridge tops or across southern Minnesota and northern
Iowa, be prepared that driving will be difficult to even dangerous
at times with very low visibility. Additionally, be aware that
rapidly falling temperatures will allow any earlier wet roads to
refreeze quickly.

  conditions at times, especially outside of cities and towns. 
  Northwest winds gusting to 40 mph into late afternoon. 

* WHERE...Portions of southeast Minnesota and northeast Iowa.

* WHEN...Until 6 PM CST this evening.

* IMPACTS...Plan on dangerous travel conditions with  
  significantly lowered visibility, particularly for open and 
  unsheltered areas outside of towns. Wind chills as low as 20 
  below zero tonight could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as 
  little as 30 minutes. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Falling or blowing snow with strong winds
and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout
conditions, making travel extremely dangerous. Do not travel if
at all possible. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit
with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
548 PM CST Sat Jan 18 2020

...Winds Slowly Decreasing...Bitter Cold Wind Chills Tonight...

Winds will remains strong and gusty through the evening, but they
are on a slow decrease. Impacts on visibility from blowing snow
have started to lessen as a result. With conditions expected to
continue to slowly improve through the rest of the night, the
warnings and advisories will be allowed to expire.

Evening travelers should still be alert for some pockets of 
lowered visibilities and drifting snows across roads, mostly in 
open and unsheltered areas. Take it slow. 

While the blowing and drifting impacts from the wind are on a
downward trend, the winds coupled with falling temperatures will
result in wind chills from 20 to 30 below. If venturing into the
cold, limit your exposure and bundle up. Don't forget to protect
your pets from the bitter cold too!

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS La Crosse, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Jan 16, 10:57 AM CST, 1 hour 45 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 16, 10:57 AM CST, 1 hour 45 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
1057 AM CST Thu Jan 16 2020

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 359 AM CST Thu Jan 16 2020

At 3 AM, skies have cleared across most of the Upper Mississippi
River Valley due to very dry air moving into the region and
strong subsidence. Temperatures ranged from -8F at Dodge Center MN
to 7F at Boscobel WI and Mauston WI. With northwest winds of 10 to
20 mph, wind chills are ranging from 10 to 35 below. The coldest
wind chills (-20 to -30F) are in northeast Iowa, southeast
Minnesota, and west-central and north-central Wisconsin. These
bitterly cold wind chills will likely continue through at least
9 AM. Wind chills this cold can cause frostbite in less than
30 minutes to exposed skin.

High pressure will provide mainly clear skies through tonight.
High temperatures will range from 0 to 15F. Low temperatures for
tonight will occur between midnight and 3 AM and then slowly climb
as warm air advection moves back into the region ahead of the
approaching shortwave trough moving through the Northern Plains.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 359 AM CST Thu Jan 16 2020

From Friday afternoon into Saturday, the 16.00z models are in very
good agreement that a strong shortwave trough will move from the
Northern Plains into Lake Huron. As the surface low moves through
the region, it will be gradually deepening. The 16.00z GEFS plumes
are continuing to tighten their QPF. They have the liquid amounts
between 4 to 7 tenths of an inch. Yesterday, the spread was
around a half inch. While this part of the system is becoming
clearer, many other questions remain.

One of these primary questions is how much of a wintry mix will
occur. The 16.00z NAM and GFS Bufkit soundings showed that the ice
would remain in the clouds which would result in more snow south
of Interstate 90. However, the ProbIce grids for these 2 models
showed that we would continue to lose ice in the clouds across the
entire area as the mid-level dry slot moved into the area. The
16.06z NAM is even more pronounced with this dry slot than its
16.00z run which would result in even more of a wintry mix. This
would lower snow amounts, but increase ice amounts.

The second question is will the speed of the system impact QPF
amounts. With the models keeping this an open wave, there is
possibility that we could end up on the lower end of the QPF spread
which would result in mainly advisory snows (3-6").

The third question is how much blowing and drifting will take
place on Saturday as the northwest wind gusts pick up into 30 to
40 mph. If there is a wintry mix, some of the snow may be frozen
over. However, with some snow falling after the wintry mix on
Friday night, this may not be as much of a factor. These winds
have the potential of producing some localized white outs.

Due to these questions remaining, opted to keep the Winter Storm
Watch going for now. With the snow not moving in until after
noon in most areas on Friday, there was some talk of moving the
Watch begin time back by 6 hours. However, we could not reach a
consensus, so opted to just wait until the advisory/warning is
issued.
