Preliminary Event Overview

A cluster of snow showers dropping southeast out of north-central Wisconsin intensified as it encountered a cold front pushing southwest through eastern Wisconsin. The result was a brief period of heavy snow from eastern Menominee County (Wisconsin) to Oconto County, across the Bay of Green Bay, to the southwest tip of Door County. Reports of up to 6 inches of snow were received from this area. The snow showers dissipated as they continued to the southeast and the front departed to the southwest.

Below is a radar loop of the event.
