A winter storm moved across the Upper Midwest and brought a round of snow to western Wisconsin from February 11th into the early morning hours of the 13th. The snow was heaviest along and north of Interstate 90 where totals of 12 to 20 inches were common. Overall, snowfall amounts ranged from 6 inches up to 20 inches. The highest reported total was 20 inches in Independence (Trempealeau County). As the storm exited the region, the winds increased and caused blowing and drifting snow to occur that resulted in hazardous travel conditions. Interstate 90 was shut down February 12th near Oakdale (Monroe County) where a State Trooper suffered injuries when the patrol car was rear-ended by a semi truck. Most schools were closed on February 12th including Western Technical College and Viterbo University.
