Weekend snow could impact thanksgiving week in southern Wisconsin
The season’s first major snowfall is sweeping through southeastern Wisconsin, with moderate to heavy snow expected to continue into the evening.
In the Milwaukee area, moderate to heavy snowfall is expected until about 9 p.m. with about one inch of snow accumulating per hour, NWS Meteorologist Mark Gehring told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Lighter snow will continue all night, but forecasts do not show significant accumulations after 9 p.m.
“We’re in the heart of the storm right now,” Gehring said.
Gehring cautioned that current snow conditions are reducing visibility causing difficult travel conditions.
As of around 1 p.m., Nov. 29, the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office has received 25 calls related to incidents on the freeways including: 17 accidents with property damage only; one accident with injuries; four disabled vehicles; two disabled vehicle spinouts; and one instance of debris on the road.
On top of moderate and heavy snowfall, winds have been increasing off of Lake Michigan, so there may be drifting snow near the lake.

What to do in a winter storm
During winter storms, NWS advises staying inside, stocking up on food and water, and charging essential devices in case of power outages. If your heat goes out, NWS says you should:
- Close off unneeded rooms.
- Place towels or rags in cracks under doors.
- Close blinds or curtains.
- Eat and drink to provide your body with energy.
- Wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight and warm clothing.
If you are without shelter, you can visit the 211 Wisconsin website or call 211 to locate nearby warming services.
NWS also advises against driving during a storm, as conditions can create dangerous driving conditions. For live updates on road conditions and accidents in Wisconsin, you can check out the 511 Wisconsin map.
MILWAUKEE — An Oak Creek couple’s stolen car has been found after a viewer who saw a report on the theft spotted it near a south side Milwaukee apartment complex.
Melinna Posey said the ordeal began when her car was stolen and she turned to social media for help. A person who responded claimed to have the vehicle and demanded money for its return. The person messaging even taunted her, discarding some of the items inside the car.
Personal items were inside the vehicle, including the family’s car seat, stroller, cameras and photos.
“It’s been very stressful, especially for him. It’s his vehicle, it’s in his name,” Posey said.

Stolen Oak Creek couple’s car found by viewer dumped near Milwaukee apartment complex
I spoke to Posey on Tuesday. Since then, she and Tyler Dusenberry had been searching for the car. On Thursday, the couple received a message from someone who saw the story on TMJ4. That person found the car at a south side Milwaukee apartment complex and shared pictures of the red Dodge Durango SRT between trees and a building, covered in tarps.
“I didn’t believe the text message at first today, and then he sent pictures of the car, and I was like, thank the lord, I was like thank you so much,” Posey said.
“It’s a roller coaster that’s what it’s been,” Dusenberry said.

Oak Creek Police picked up the car and are processing it for evidence. The family has not yet been able to see the inside of the vehicle or what, if anything, was left behind.
The family said they are grateful to everyone who helped them this week, but said the entire experience will be tough to get over.
“It’s just unfortunate that this all happened, and we had a lot of memories and trips within that vehicle so it’s just a little life-changing to be honest,” Dusenberry said.

PLOVER, Wis. (WBAY) – Police in the western part of the state are spreading the word after someone stole over $95,000 worth of Milwaukee-brand tools. Police are concerned that they’ll be sold online or sold outside the state.
Milwaukee-brand tools were stolen from a trailer at a solar farm in Plover.
Police say there were 130 items, including more than 40 half-inch impact guns, multiple wire cutters, grease guns, 80 batteries, and a couple of small generators.
Investigators are warning that buyers who purchase stolen items can have them seized and could lose their money or even face criminal charges if they knew the property was stolen.
