The snow is already likely behind one crash Tuesday morning. A semi jackknifed on westbound 94 near 76th Street. Use extra caution today or you could wind up in the same boat.
Second Day of Rush Hour Weather Problems
Snow Monday afternoon caused serious traffic headaches. The snow is blamed for dozens of spinouts and crashes around southeast Wisconsin.
One of the crashes, a semi that jackknifed in the southbound lanes of I-43/94 near the Plainfield Curve blocked most of the freeway for a time.
At one point Monday, the travel time to get from Highway Q to the Zoo Interchange on southbound 45 was nearly an hour and forty minutes. That trip usually takes 13 minutes. 94 westbound between downtown and Moorland was also up to nearly 70 minutes just before 4 in the afternoon on Monday. That’s usually a 10 minute trip.
Snow fell through most of the day. The National Weather Service expected a total of 4-7 inches to fall around the area. Some areas reported more than 9 inches.
The National Weather Service cancelled a heavy snow warning for Milwaukee, Waukesha, Jefferson, Dodge, Washington, and Ozaukee Counties. Forecasters predicted accumulations between 6 and 12 inches by the time the snowfall is done.
Weather Leads to Big Pile up in Western Wisconsin
I-90 near the Minnesota and Wisconsin border was temporarily closed yesterday after a 20-car pile, which caused only one undisclosed injury.
La Crosse County Sheriff’s Sergeant Bill Lubinski says one vehicle lost control and the other vehicles couldn’t avoid hitting each other.
