SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) – A push of arctic air has created hazardous conditions for area commuters this Thursday morning. The Wisconsin State Patrol says that major roads, including I-43 and Highway 23, were ice covered as of early this morning, and temperatures around 10 above are too cold for de-icing to work well.
Although snowfall wasn’t enough to warrant an advisory, several accidents did result from the slippery conditions. While snow departs, the coldest air of the season moves in. Windchills will be below zero today and drop as low as 26 below tonight, and so advisories are likely to be issued by the National Weather Service. Temperatures should moderate by the weekend with a return to near normal temperatures.
