A large storm system impacted Wisconsin from the evening of Saturday, April 15th into Sunday night, April 16th. Initially, rain and thunderstorms spread through southern Wisconsin before switching over to snow during the morning hours of Sunday, April 16th. Heaviest snowfall occurred in central Wisconsin during the day Sunday, April 16th, where snowfall totals were 22.5 near Longwood (Clark County) and 22.0 near Black River Falls and Northfield (Jackson County). Many trees were beginning to leaf out following record breaking warmth the week prior, and the heavy snow load resulted in tree damage and power outages. The large amount of precipitation associated with this storm greatly impacted flooding along the Mississippi, Black, and Yellow Rivers and ultimately resulted in the Governor of Wisconsin issuing a State of Emergency declaration on April 16.
