Door County will likely miss out on much of the snow slated to fall this week, but crews are ready just in case Mother Nature changes her mind. The National Weather Service is reporting a winter weather system moving into the state on Tuesday, dropping between three and five inches in areas like Stevens Point and Wausau, but an inch or less on northeast Wisconsin. Door County Highway Commissioner John Kolodziej is expecting more rain than anything else, but he says the salt sheds are full and the plows are on.
Kolodziej says they have already fulfilled many of their early fill orders and have made enough of its salt and sand mixture for the area’s rural roadways. He hopes crews will be able to install snow fencing along some of the area’s highways in the coming weeks.
