Event Overview
As low pressure tracked across the Ohio Valley, a frontogenetic band of snow set up across central and east central WI early February 8, producing 3-6" of snow by around sunrise. Then, during the day on February 8, another frontogenetic band, aided by a strong upper jet, developed over the same location, producing another 3-6" of snow. Storm total snow amounts of 6-11" were observed in the heaviest band. See map on the right for estimated totals. Daily snowfall records were set at Green Bay (7.0"), Wausau (9.5"), Appleton (6.2"), and Oshkosh (4.7"). This was the greatest snowfall of the season for locations in the heavier snow band.
