SE Wisconsin snow; road conditions slick amid lingering cold, ice
MILWAUKEE - A snow system moved into southeast Wisconsin on Thursday night, Jan. 18 and moved through the area into Friday morning.
Around an inch of light snow fell in some areas. Between the light snow and recent cold, it led to a messy situation on some roads.
"The roads can be slick and slippery, getting down the hills can be a challenge," said Milwaukee resident Blake Neuburg. "I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life, and four-wheel drive are kind of necessary to drive this time of year."
