Another Winter Storm Batters Area

A winter storm began moving through the Oak Creek area Tuesday morning. See how the city responded, and tell us how things are in your neighborhood.

Last update: 2:35 p.m. Tuesday

Another winter storm moved into southeastern Wisconsin Tuesday, and while the snowfall is not expected to be as much as original estimates, roads quickly became slick.

No major accidents have been reported, though many minor incidents have kept police busy. On the freeway system, sheriff's deputies responded to 19 crashes and 22 disabled vehicles from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

After-school and Oak Creek Recreation Department activities were canceled. South of Oak Creek, Racine schools closed early because of the snowstorm.

Here are some more school and business closings from Patch's media partners at WISN 12 News; if you hear of any other closings, please let us know in the comments section.

According to WISN, snow is expected to continue into Wednesday morning, with winds exceeding 30 miles per hour. Oak Creek could also experience lake-enhanced snow, bringing a higher potential for heavy totals along Lake Michigan.

It's the third storm in as many weeks to barrel through the area during a winter that started off relatively warm and rainy.

Grow up. We won't forget either. That those of you who had a little bit, held tightfisted to it likeRead More a four year old unwilling to share his toy truck. That you endorsed and supported a man who has gone on to undermine this state, its jobs, its infrastructure, its education system, its people, its very foundation. You remember...it was you who did this.
