You could be spared from the heaviest snows occurring in the state over the next 24 to 36 hours as Door and Kewaunee counties enter a winter storm advisory Friday afternoon.
The National Weather Service is predicting the area will get between three and six inches of snow during the storm before it ends sometime Saturday morning. There is a slim chance that Door County residents could see eight inches or more of snow. Fifteen counties including Marinette and Oconto are under a winter storm watch as they could see close to a foot of snowfall in some parts. The heaviest snow is expected to fall after 6 p.m. on Friday, just in time for many athletic games and other events that are scheduled to take place. Slippery, snow-covered roads are likely with poor visibility due to blowing and drifting snow also occurring when strong winds are expected to pick up on Friday night.
