It is unlikely you will be putting away your snow shovels and snowblowers anytime soon. The National Weather Service issued a winter storm advisory Wednesday affecting Door, Kewaunee, and several other counties in the state from 6 p.m. Thursday to noon on Friday. The storm could bring five to seven inches of snow, making it the third major snow event in two weeks. Weatherology meteorologist Mike Karow says a jet stream stretching its way across the country into Wisconsin is to blame for the amount of snow and the warmer temperatures for its heaviness.

After the area gets through this most recent snowstorm, Karow says more significant snowfalls are already on the docket for next week as well. The average snowfall for Sturgeon Bay for January through March is 33 inches according to U.S. Climate Data, a number the area could threaten by the end of the month.
