GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Most of Wisconsin got 3 to 6 inches of snow Thursday.
But over two-feet of lake effect snow hit parts of Iron County near Lake Superior.
According to the National Weather Service, Gile had 29 inches as of 2 a.m. Friday – and it was still coming down.
6 inches fell there in a five-hour period, and there was lots of blowing and drifting.
Montreal in Iron County had 16 inches as of 6 p.m. Thursday. Hurley had 10 inches by the middle of last night.
Elsewhere in Wisconsin, the south and the Fox Valley seemed to be the hardest hit, with 3 to 4 inch totals reported in most other parts of the Badger State.
Milwaukee had just over 6 inches, and Madison 5. Janesville had drifts of one-and-a-half feet.
Lake effect snows are continuing Friday near Lake Superior, where warnings and advisories remain in effect until 10 a.m. And there’s a chance of more light snow in much of the state Saturday.
Temperatures were in the teens and 20’s Friday morning, but they could drop below zero in the north Friday night.
But a warming trend is expected later in the weekend. And the mercury could get back above freezing by Sunday in west central Wisconsin.
