Big Winter Storm Coming
1/31/11 - Wisconsin is about to get hit with a double-dose of snow. Two-to-eight-inches are in the forecast statewide for today. And then far southern Wisconsin could get another 12-to-18 inches tomorrow and Wednesday. We’re expecting between 8 and 16-inches over the two-day period. The National Weather Service says the snow is moving from the Rockies through much of the Plains and the Midwest before heading to the East Coast. The Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for most of southern Wisconsin through tomorrow afternoon. And a blizzard watch is in effect for the far southeast through Wednesday afternoon, including Jefferson and Waukesha Counties. Forecasters say the winds in that area could get up to 60-miles-an-hour – and snow drifts of up to 10-feet are possible in some places. Once the snow leaves, bitter cold temperatures are supposed to move in.
