Several locations across northeast Wisconsin had snow depths around a foot or more above normal for late February and early March. Temperatures across central and northern Wisconsin warmed above freezing during the daytime hours starting around March 8th. Rain accompanied the warmer temperatures, and the runoff from the combination of rain and rapidly melting snow caused flooding of streams, rivers, ditches, roads and low-lying areas in central and east-central Wisconsin. Numerous roads had to be closed, around 50 homes sustained flood damage, and scores of people were displaced from their homes due to the flooding. The Governor of Wisconsin declared a statewide state of emergency in Wisconsin due to the flooding.
