Overview
|
A low pressure system brought mixed precipitation to the region during the overnight hours of Thursday (February 22, 2018) and early Friday (February 23, 2018) morning. Mainly snow fell across north-central Wisconsin where temperatures stayed below freezing with snowfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches. A mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain across central and northeast Wisconsin where temperatures started out below freezing and slowly warmed to near freezing as the morning wore on with snowfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches. Finally across east-central Wisconsin mainly freezing rain and rain fell where temperatures started out close to freezing and warmed to above freezing during Friday morning with little to no snowfall accumulation. Despite no snowfall accumulation, a light glaze of ice was noted across much of east-central Wisconsin on Friday morning. The impact from this storm was snow covered roadways across north-central Wisconsin with ice covered roadways across east-central Wisconsin. During the early morning hours of Friday the icing caused a passenger plane to skid off the runway at the Austin Staubel International Airport in Green Bay, WI (KGRB).
