Ski on the beach on new untracked snow in beautiful sunny Kewaunee just outside the door of the charming, cozy, Historic Kewaunee Inn:

"Several crashes and vehicles in ditches were reported this morning in the Green Bay area as roads remained slippery with more than an inch of lake-effect snow having fallen overnight.

Blowing snow also reduced visibility, according to the National Weather Service office in Ashwaubenon.

More than 3 inches of snow has fallen in the Green Bay area since Tuesday.

Heavy lake-effect snow was seen in Kewaunee, Manitowoc and eastern Brown County this morning, with snow falling at the rate of an inch per hour.

That prompted a winter weather advisory for Kewaunee and Manitowoc counties until 11 a.m. today. Those areas closer to Lake Michigan were expected to get 3 to 5 inches of new snow, bringing the two-day total to 4 to 7 inches.

Even when the snow stops, it'll be whipped around by north winds of 16 to 20 mph and gusting to 24 mph. Thursday will be sunny, but north-northwest winds will linger, gusting to 21 mph."
