Another snowstorm is coming this week, and area highway departments are preparing to make your commute as smooth as possible. Snow is expected to be off and on during the day on Wednesday before heavier snow enters the area on Thursday into Friday morning. WBAY's Steve Beylon is predicting two to five inches, but that forecast could change because the path of the "Alberta clipper" is currently unknown. The Door County Highway Department has already employed its trucks a few times this year due to winter conditions. Early on, the wind and cold temperatures have posed a challenge as staunch as the snow. That was showcased two weeks ago when snow squalls hit the area, dumping a couple of inches of snow and causing area roads to ice over. Door County Highway Commissioner Thad Ash says no two storms are alike, so depending on the combination of temperature, wind, and snow, no two strategies to make the roads safe are the same.

The area is a few inches below normal for snow this time of year. That means that salt, sand, and brine supplies are still in great shape, according to Ash.
