Winter storm snarls traffic, cancels events

It was not quite what the area saw last week when snowfall totals hit double-digits, but you were undoubtedly affected by the region’s most recent winter storm on Monday. Snowfall totals varied up and down the peninsula, ranging from just over eight inches in Sturgeon Bay to approximately four inches in Ephraim. The storm came just days after Sturgeon Bay set a 100-year-old record for the most snow ever recorded on February 22nd with 10.3 inches.

The school districts of Sevastopol, Southern Door, Kewaunee, Algoma, and Luxemburg sent their kids home early on Monday because of the weather, with other community events either being canceled or held virtually only.

 

It also ended up being a busy day for law enforcement and tow truck drivers as they tended to 27 vehicles in ditches from 10:30 a.m. to 11:45 p.m.

The storm added more snow for the snowmobile trails in Door County, but it was enough to reopen the trails in Kewaunee County, which closed at 8 a.m. on Monday.
