A strong arctic cold front moved through southern Wisconsin from the late afternoon through the tonight period. West to northwest winds gusted to 35-50 mph with blizzard conditions mainly south and west of Madison. Light snow accompanied the cold front but the blowing and drifting of a powdery snow pack had the biggest impact on visibility and road conditions. Many vehicle slide-offs and stranded motorists were reported in the counties south and west of Madison, due to whiteout conditions and deep snow drifts.
