Some winter weather facts and snow amounts so far this winter

Winter weather facts for Wisconsin.

There is about 25,000 vehicle accidents during the winter months do to snow, slush, ice covered roads. Sadly on Average there about 70 people who are killed and around 7,500 people are injured.. Main cause for this is people driving to fast for conditions and re learning how to drive in the winter elements.
What is also interesting but a no brainer is Hurley WI in Iron County had the most snowfall last year 09/10 they had 166.9 inches of snow….This came from Lake effect snows/ Lake enhance snows, along with synoptic snows…
The least amount of snow fell in Pierce County with only 11.5 inches of snow…

Ok lets look at the this past week the 10th through the 15th here at The weather Center we had a total of 8.75 inches of snow. So far this month we have had 11.00 inches of snow, not counting the 2.25 inches we picked up overnight and this morning so far… So far since Oct we have had 58.00 inches of snow this is 8 inches above the session average snowfall…. This is not counting the 2.25 inches from last night and this early morning…
