If you thought you were done with winter, Mother Nature wants you to guess again. Early Thursday morning, the National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for Friday, affecting much of northern Wisconsin, including Brown, Door, and Kewaunee counties. The advisory stretches from 1 a.m. to 1 p.m., with two to four inches of snow expected. The snow is expected to fall the hardest between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m., making the Friday morning commute likely slippery and hazardous. Despite not having to be used much this winter, Door County Highway Commissioner Thad Ash says his crews are ready.
Ash says they will apply a salt brine mixture to the road on Thursday in anticipation of the winter event on Friday, focusing most of their attention on the county’s hills, curves, roundabout, and heavily wooded areas. The National Weather Service also warns of a small cyclone that could bring snow to the area late Sunday into Monday, but it is too far away to determine the exact accumulation totals.
