Running your Sunday errands became easier said than done after an ice storm hit Door County. Several counties in northern Wisconsin and upper Michigan including Door County were included in an ice storm warning that began early Sunday morning. According to the National Weather Service, snow and sleet accumulations of up to one inch and ice accumulations between one-tenth and one-half of an inch are expected as a part of the ice storm warning, which is expected to last until 7 p.m. on Sunday. The storm could also cause significant ice accumulation on power lines and tree limbs, causing widespread and long-lasting power outages. As of 11:20 a.m., more than 51,000 Wisconsin Public Service customers, including 1,514 in Door County, were without power. The ice accumulating on the road could make travel difficult to nearly impossible in some areas.
