The Door County Sheriff’s Department patrol was not as busy as expected on Tuesday as the forecast of snowfall and high winds did not impact the area until late in the day.  Snowfalls in Door and Kewaunee County saw the most increased precipitation in the southern part of the peninsula, with reported totals of 4.5 inches in Algoma and 4 inches in Kewaunee. However, all local schools canceled classes on Tuesday, and most of the snow accumulated later in the afternoon.  Door County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Pat McCarty says that overall, the weather-related calls for assistance were rather minor, with just three property damage crashes, three vehicles in the ditch, and only a few trees and power lines down. 

McCarty notes that with more snow slated for Thursday and Friday, drivers should check the forecast and use good winter driving habits by slowing down and taking their time when venturing out on the roads.
