(The Center Square) – Wisconsin is spending another day dealing with snow, ice, and winds that could hit 60 mph.
The National Weather Service is continuing its blizzard warning for pretty much the entire state through 4 p.m. on Monday. Gov. Tony Evers is leaving his state of emergency in place as well.
The governor issued an emergency declaration Saturday, ahead of the storm on Sunday.
“… A significant winter storm is expected to impact large portions of the State of Wisconsin beginning on March 14, 2026, and continuing through March 16, 2026; Wheras, the National Weather Service predicts the potential for record-breaking snowfall amounts of up to 24 inches and winds gusting up to 50 miles per hour,” the governor wrote in his declaration. “Therefore I, Tony Evers…Proclaim that a State of Emergency exists in the State of Wisconsin. Direct all state agencies of the State of Wisconsin to assist as appropriate in the response and recovery effort. Call to state active duty such elements of the Wisconsin National Guard as the adjutant general deems necessary to assist civil authorities for purposes of assisting in response and recovery effort.”
The winter storm that blanketed the state hit in waves, with northeast Wisconsin getting hit Saturday and into Sunday. Folks around Green Bay were expecting perhaps as many as 30 inches of snow.
The winter weather hit southeast Wisconsin Sunday evening but intensified overnight into Monday morning.
Hundreds of schools canceled classes, and thousands of people lost power because of the winter weather.
On Sunday, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation asked people not to travel across the state.
“The Wisconsin Department of Transportation urges people to stay home and limit travel to emergencies only during the current winter storm. Travel is not advised across northern Wisconsin as blizzard conditions continue to make highways extremely hazardous and often impassable,” the DOT wrote. “The winter storm is expected to cause continued deteriorating conditions in southern counties as the storm progresses.”
Forecasters say snow will continue in parts of southeast and southern Wisconsin until Tuesday night, but it will not be as strong or as windy. The high temperature on Wednesday in Milwaukee is expected to be 40 degrees, with highs at or around 50 on Friday and Saturday.
