For the first time in months, your commute to work and school might be more treacherous than you have been used to, thanks to the late arrival of winter weather. On the heels of one system dropping a couple of inches over the weekend, the National Weather Service expects seven to ten inches of snow in the area while it sits in a winter storm warning from 3 a.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. on Wednesday. If that happens, it could be the most Door County has seen since last March, when Sturgeon Bay received nine inches of snow, and Fish Creek and Ephraim saw more than ten inches. At that time, Door County Highway Commissioner Thad Ash offered sound advice to those on the road while road crews work.

Sturgeon Bay Municipal Services Director Mike Barker says there is a lot that goes into removing snow from the city's streets in a timely, safe, and efficient manner.

Kewaunee County Sheriff Matt Joski said that depending on the storm's strength, you should consider staying at home or, at the very least, being prepared.

If you find yourself in a ditch or another precarious situation, Door County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Pat McCarty says to make sure you stay in your car, call 911, and turn on your hazard lights.

McCarty adds that there should be plenty of deputies on patrol if motorists end of needing their assistance, but more can be added if things get really bad. Ash said last month that thanks to the dry and mild start to the winter, most municipalities’ salt supplies are at near capacity.
