APPLETON - A spring snowstorm could drop nearly a foot of snow in some parts of central and northeast Wisconsin by Tuesday night.

A few flurries could begin to fall late Monday afternoon, but the heaviest snow is expected to start Tuesday morning, according to Timm Uhlmann, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Green Bay.

The storm could cover the region in about 6 to 11 inches of snow by Tuesday night. The snow could mix with rain in a few places, including the Fox Cities. A winter storm watch will be in effect for much of the region from late Monday night to late Tuesday night.

Travel is expected to be difficult across the region on Tuesday, especially during the morning and evening commutes. The storm could cover roads in snow and significantly reduce visibility.

The snow could also make it tough for voters to get to the polls Tuesday in communities across Wisconsin. This wouldn't be the first time weather has played a role in local elections this year — the primary elections in February were hampered by freezing rain and ice.

and this afternoon. It wasn't as bad as we expected - there was a lot of snow but it was wet and melted instead of sticking to the pavement. I was able to get around today without any trouble. With any luck it will be about the same in WI.

Winter storm warning, but not heavy snow totals like NE of us!

Good luck, Rebecca!

Vote Dallet on your ballot!

And also defense of the ad that plain out right lied about Dallet from an attorney that worked on the case.

No links, sorry....
