You can blame the high winds along with the snow for the issues you may have experienced on Saturday in Door County. Power outages started to populate mid-morning across Door County as winds gusts were expected to hit between 35-50 miles per hour. Even businesses in northern Door County had to close their doors for at least a few hours due to the power outages. As of 4:30 p.m., 250 of the over 9,100 Wisconsin Public Service customers resided in Door County with power potentially returning by 10 p.m. Even the Washington Island Ferry experienced some issues because of the weather. Gale force winds canceled trips until 4 p.m. It could have been worse for the area as some communities in northern Wisconsin received another foot of snow or more due to the winter storm.
