Washington Co., Wi – The neighbor called it “heart attack snow.” A wet, heavy snow that… well, you know … may be better suited to hire a kid to clear your sidewalk or shovel the driveway. The snow wasn’t much better for motorists.
Slippery and slick; lots of delays for the morning commute. “This is horrible,” said one lady at Good Day Cafe in West Bend.
Plows were out across Washington County. There seemed to be a quick 2-inches of snow before 10 a.m. and then a warmup helped melt some of it to a more manageable wet mess.

On Thursday, neighbors across Washington County will woke up to chilly temps and white rooftops in West Bend, Hartford, Germantown, and Myra.
According to the National Weather Service, “A burst of moderate to heavy snow, slushy snow accumulations on roads, and west-northwest wind gusts of 35-40 mph is beginning to look more likely for Thursday AM especially over eastern WI. Temperatures will warm to near 40F for the afternoon and evening commute with much better road conditions anticipated at that time.”
