Winter storms bashes SE Wisconsin: 8 inches possible

A winter storm brings steady snow and gusty winds Thursday, causing dangerous travel conditions across the area. Snow starts in the morning, with the heaviest snow around midday and the afternoon. Areas with the highest expected snowfall could see snowfall rates 1-1.5" an hour during the afternoon. There will be a sharp cut-off to the northwest in snowfall amounts. So even though there is a good chance for a few inches of snow through Beaver Dam and Fond du Lac, there is also the potential these locations could see nothing. Snow will start to end from west to east around 6 p.m., eventually ending by the lakefront by 11 p.m. Blowing snow is possible with northeast winds 15-25 mph, with gusts near 35 mph.
