Round two will be more widespread and continuous, beginning early

an additional 9 to 14 inches snow accumulation expected. Total 
snow accumulations will range from 14 to 21 inches, with the 
higher end totals along a west to east axis from southwest

Wisconsin. This is expected to reach the top 5 heaviest snow
