Peninsula digs out from weekend storm

The second significant snowfall of the winter season left plenty of snow to move on Sunday. While nearly a foot was expected in some areas, most of the peninsula received four to seven inches. Actual depth varied from community to community, with WLUK reporting totals of six inches in Egg Harbor and seven inches in Algoma.

 

It was business as usual for the Door County Highway Department, according to Deputy Director Randy Debauche, who says crews work on the state highways first before making their way to county and town roads. They were hard at work Monday morning, still addressing Saturday’s storm—pushing drifts off to the side and sanding and salting the roads. Debauche encourages drivers to take their time this week with more snow in the forecast coupled with bitter cold temperatures.

 

 

 

According to the National Weather Service, there is at least a 40 percent chance of snow in the forecast on four days this week, including a 60 percent chance Monday night into Tuesday morning. The snow kept the Door County Sheriff’s Department and tow truck drivers busy as well, with six reports of cars in ditches between Saturday and Sunday.
