...A PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW EXPECTED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...



A period of heavy snow is expected early this afternoon.

Visibilities in the heavier band of snow will drop down to

around a quarter of a mile at times, resulting in poor

visibilities for motorists. The heavy snow will taper off to 

light snow by mid afternoon, with light snow continuing into 

tonight across Vilas and Oneida Counties. The light snow will end 

across Lincoln County late this afternoon or early this evening. 

Along with the snow, gusty northerly winds may create areas of 

blowing and drifting snow. 



Total snowfall accumulations of 3 to 6 inches are expected, with 

the highest amounts across Vilas County. The combination of 

freezing drizzle from this morning and snow this afternoon 

will cause roads to be snow covered and icy for the afternoon 

and evening commute. If you must travel, slow down and allow 

extra time to reach your destination.
