Central Wisconsin receives significant spring snowfall totals

Central Wisconsin experienced its first major snowfall of the spring on Sunday. Areas around Stevens Point and Wausau saw snowfall totals between 4 and 10 inches. In contrast, places like Wisconsin Rapids and Marshfield received 2 inches or less. The snowfall followed a weather system that moved in as rain from the southwest. As it traveled across the state, it turned into snow. According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, the snow is likely to stay on the ground for several days due to temperatures expected to be just above freezing and lingering clouds. Looking ahead, another weather system is on its way. This one might bring freezing rain and additional snow starting Friday and lasting through Sunday. The National Weather Service is monitoring the situation closely. Snow totals were recorded from late Sunday evening into early Monday morning. The highest amounts were near Stevens Point and Wausau, confirming the impact of the weather system that moved through the region.
