Ice accumulations up to two tenths of an inch from freezing rain were reported across western Wisconsin from a winter storm that impacted the region on January 27th. The winter storm originated over South Dakota and then moved almost due east into Wisconsin. As it did, it pulled a warm front north through the region. The warm air that came north with the warm front was responsible for the freezing rain. The warm air moved as far north as about Interstate 90, which is where sleet began mixing in with the freezing rain. Farther to the north, all the precipitation fell as snow. The freezing rain and sleet produced a coating of ice on most exposed surfaces leading to very slick roads with several accidents occurring. The highest reported ice accumulation was two tenths of an inch in Prairie du Chien (Crawford County).
