UPDATED: No Accidents So Far in Fox Point, Bayside from Snow

After a less-than-white Christmas and temperatures flirting with the 50's, many Wisconsinites have been donning lighter than usual January apparel.

However, those days are coming to an abrupt end as low pressure systems have finally found our corner of Wisconsin, and will bring 3-6" of snow. The National Weather Service is issuing a winter weather advisory to be in effect from Thursday morning to Friday morning.

Both Fox Point and Bayside police chiefs have confirmed there are no car accidents in either village as of 3 p.m. Thursday from the snow.

Snowfall during Thursday is expected to start around 7 a.m. with heavier amounts falling later during the day, and continuing overnight. The event will take longer than most 'hit-and-run' storms, which has forecasters estimating 2-4" during the daylight hours of Thursday and another 1-2" Thursday night into Friday.

For both Fox Point and Bayside, all department of public works employees are on call in case they are needed. The police departments keep an eye on the roads while they are on patrol and inform their respective villages whenever roads are in need of treatment.

The unusually high temperatures we've had are predicted to 'plummet,' but are still less than five degrees below the normal temps of 29 for January, and the extended forecast shows us revisiting the 30s over the weekend.
