MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Snow is expected to continue to fall as we head into Sunday night in southeastern Wisconsin. With lake-effect snow expected Sunday night, Milwaukee and other lakeshore counties could see in excess of 12 inches of snow. More than eight inches of snow fell in Milwaukee from Saturday night through Sunday and into Sunday night. If we see more than nine inches in Milwaukee by the time it's all said and done, we'll have broken a snowfall record. Kenosha County saw nearly a foot of snow -- and officials in counties surrounding Milwaukee County said they were doing their best to keep up.
To the north of Milwaukee, Dodge County Sheriff's officials said the roads are snow-covered and slippery. They had only dealt with a few cars sliding off the roadway as of early Sunday evening.
In Jefferson County, to the west of Milwaukee, officials didn't have an accident tally as of early Sunday evening. Sheriff's officials said the problems have been mostly on the interstate.
FOX6 News has not yet been able to get in touch with Walworth County Sheriff's officials.
Ozaukee County Sheriff's officials said roads to Milwaukee's north are "pretty awful." An accident tally has not yet been made available.
Sheboygan County Sheriff's officials said they've only had about a handful of reports of cars in ditches -- so it appears folks are heeding the warnings against unnecessary travel.
A Blizzard Warning is in effect through 3:00 a.m. Monday, February 2nd for Racine and Kenosha counties.
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for Jefferson, Waukesha, Walworth, Milwaukee, Ozaukee and Sheboygan counties. The warning remains in effect for Milwaukee and Ozaukee counties through 3:00 a.m. For other counties, it expires at midnight.
Meanwhile, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the remainder of the FOX6 viewing area through midnight.
The FOX6 Weather Experts said snow would continue throughout the day on Sunday. Strong winds were expected to cause blowing and drifting snow that would reduce visibility and cause hazardous travel conditions. The snow was expected to taper off Sunday afternoon for inland areas, but lake-effect snow was expected to continue into early Monday for lakeshore counties.
When it's all said and done, we could see three to six inches of snow to the north of Milwaukee, and eight plus inches in Milwaukee and south.
