The recent stretch of cold weather has forced event cancellations and even inspired a state of emergency declaration on Thursday.

Governor Tony Evers announced the energy emergency on Thursday afternoon in response to limited deliveries of petroleum and propane products shipped by truck, barge, and rail. The cold temperatures have caused the demand for propane and petroleum products to skyrocket, and the order allows a 30-day waiver to allow suppliers to catch up.

The National Weather Service is already predicting wind chill advisories will be issued throughout the weekend with temperatures dipping to 15 to 33 below through Monday morning.

As a result, events like this weekend’s Candlelight Ski at Crossroads at Big Creek have either been canceled or postponed. We will update our cancellations page throughout the weekend if other events are postponed or canceled.
