MILWAUKEE — The worst spring snowstorm on record blanketed much of Wisconsin today, creating hazardous conditions for stunned motorists, closing schools, and downing power wires and trees.
The storm, packing heavy snow, gusty winds and sleet, came two days after temperatures peaked in the high 70s throughout much of the state. It caught municipal officials by surprise; most winter road equipment had been placed in storage.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for eastern Wisconsin, forecasting snow totals as high as 8 inches in areas north and west of Milwaukee.
