Wisconsin, don’t put away those winter boots just yet—snow and a wintry mix are headed for La Crosse this weekend. Whether you’re traveling or just running errands, be prepared for slippery roads, reduced visibility, and changing conditions as this system moves through.
What to Expect
- Snow & Ice Mix – Some areas will see steady snow, while others could get a messy mix of sleet, freezing rain, and snowflakes. Road conditions could change fast, so stay alert.
- Chilly Temps – Highs will stay in the 30s, and with overnight lows dipping into the 20s, anything that falls will stick around.
- Uncertain Snow Totals – Depending on how this system develops, some areas could get more snow, while others see mostly sleet and rain.
How This Might Affect Your Weekend
🚗 Slippery Roads – Snow, sleet, and freezing rain could make roads icy and dangerous, especially in the mornings and evenings.
🌨️ Low Visibility – Heavy snow at times could make it tough to see while driving, so be extra careful on highways and open roads.
⚠️ Unpredictable Conditions – The mix of snow and rain means some areas will see more accumulation than others, so check for updates if you have travel plans.
How to Stay Safe
✅ Drive Cautiously – Reduce speed, brake gently, and leave extra space between you and the car ahead.
✅ Watch for Icy Spots – Bridges, overpasses, and side streets freeze first, so be extra careful in those areas.
✅ Stay Updated – Snow totals and precipitation types could shift, so check the latest forecast before heading out.
Looking Ahead
The wintry mix should start to clear by Sunday, but cold temperatures will stick around into next week. Highs will stay in the 30s, with overnight lows in the 20s, meaning slick roads could linger, especially in the mornings.
Final Thoughts
La Crosse, winter isn’t done just yet! If you have to drive, take it slow and stay prepared. If you don’t, this might be the perfect weekend to stay in, sip some hot cocoa, and watch the snow fall from the comfort of home.
Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the weekend, Wisconsin! ❄️🚗
