snow, Snow, SNOW!
Wisconsin was hit with its first major snowstorm. My hometown of Kenosha received 17 inches of snow overnight into today. When I was in school then, the most snow we saw was a few inches and no school cancellations.
There were all sorts of problems in and around Milwaukee. Even a snow plow overturned. Even thundersnow--yes, thundersnow--was seen in Milwaukee's northern suburbs.
Here in Green Bay, we got a few inches or so. The roads weren't quite clear by 2 p.m., but by the end of the work day, they were reasonably good. But there were accidents--56 of them as of 12:30.
Meanwhile I have a few friends that are to travel to Chicago tonight for their departure to Africa on Saturday from O'Hare. Their worst case scenario happened as many flights are cancelled or have 3 to 4 hour delays. Same can be said for Milwaukee's General Mitchell Field.
It's going to be long night for cleanup crews in SE Wisconsin and the entire state of Illinois.
