Don’t Miss This: Light Snow Makes Green Bay Roads Hazardous!

Heads up, Green Bay—if you’re driving today, expect some slick roads. Light lake-effect snow is falling across the area, and with freezing temperatures sticking around, even a little snow can cause icy conditions. Whether you’re commuting or running errands, take it slow and stay safe.

What’s Going On?

Cold air passing over Lake Michigan is creating light snow in and around Green Bay. Here’s what you can expect:

  • How Much Snow? Only 1–2 inches, but it’s enough to make untreated roads icy.
  • Slippery Conditions: The snow, combined with freezing temperatures, means roads, especially bridges and overpasses, will be slick.
  • Reduced Visibility: In some areas, the snow may fall a bit heavier at times, briefly cutting visibility.

Areas to Watch Out For

  • City Streets and Rural Roads: Slick spots are likely in and around Green Bay, particularly in shaded or less-traveled areas.
  • Highways: Main routes like I-43 and US-41 could have icy patches, so give yourself extra time to get where you’re going.

Tips for a Safe Drive

  1. Slow Down: Icy roads mean less traction, so drive carefully and leave extra space between you and the car ahead.
  2. Be Alert for Ice: Bridges and overpasses tend to freeze first, so take it easy when driving over them.
  3. Keep Your Car Ready: Make sure your tires are in good condition and that you have winter essentials, like an ice scraper and an emergency kit, just in case.
  4. Check the Forecast: Stay updated throughout the day, especially if you’re traveling further distances.

Looking Ahead

The snow is expected to ease up by this evening, but the freezing temperatures mean icy patches could linger overnight.

Final Thoughts

It may not be a major storm, but even a little snow can cause big issues on the roads. If you’re heading out, take your time and stay cautious. A safe drive is better than a fast one.

Stay warm and stay safe out there, Green Bay—you’ve got this!
