No matter where you lived, chances are you needed to use your shovel, snowblower, or snowplow to get where you went Thursday afternoon into Friday morning. The actual snowfall totals were lighter than the 6-10 inches some weather models were projecting heading into the storm, with the winter storm warning expiring two hours before the original time. Brown and Kewaunee counties got hit harder than Door County, with Sister Bay and Sturgeon Bay hovering around four inches while Casco and New Franken were between five and seven inches. Emergency personnel were also kept busy with four accident calls and three calls for cars in the ditch between noon and 6 p.m. on Thursday. Door County Highway Department Commissioner Thad Ash explained what goes into their snow removal operations earlier in the week.

If you still need to shovel, prepare properly, dress warmly, take it slow, and use good form to prevent injury. Property owners and snowplow drivers will have a few days to rest and clean up before the next snow event. The National Weather Service is predicting more snow for Monday.
