Overview

A heavy lake effect snowfall band moved into southeastern Wisconsin late Monday evening. The lake effect snowfall continued through Monday afternoon before the band shifted eastward out over Lake Michigan. The highest snowfall totals from this event occurred along the southeastern lakeshore counties (Kenosha, Racine and Milwaukee Counties) where the lake effect banding was most persistent. Snowfall totals within this area ranged from 10 to 16 inches along the lakeshore. There was a sharp cut off to the snowfall totals with locations north of Milwaukee and west of Interstate 41 reporting snowfall totals that ranged from 1 to 4 inches.
