The Wisconsin Highway Patrol tells FOX 9 that the snow on I-94 only stretched for 10 miles. It caught one tow truck driver near Eau Claire by surprise when he got a tow call.
“We got our first call, and they said it was white-out conditions and to take your time, to be careful, I looked out the window and the sun was shining,” said Eric Rehberg Manager of Chad’s Towing and Recovery.
Police say there were a total of 16 crashes, one of them with serious injuries. Phones at Chad’s Towing and Recovery were ringing off the hook.
“We probably were in the 20 to 25 calls,” said Rehberg.
Wisconsin State Troopers closed off the highway for three hours, from 11 a.m. till about 2 p.m. The snow on Highway 94 only spanned for 10 miles.
“One side of town didn’t have any snow, and the roads were dry, and the middle part of town had four inches of snow and cars in the ditch and into each other all over the place,” said Rehberg.

Wisconsin football alums disgusted with ‘sad state of affairs’ of Badgers program after loss to Minnesota
Wisconsin’s Luke Fickell struggling to understand team’s inconsistency
The Badgers football coach met with reporters following a 44-25 loss to Nebraska at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Wisconsin football’s season is sunk.
And it’s a program that’s facing uncharted waters after Friday’s dreadful showing in its 24-7 loss to Minnesota in the regular-season finale.
No bowl game. A losing season. Questions about the coaching staff. Questions about the roster.
The season has actually been sinking for some time, but the Badgers still had a chance to salvage whatever was left of it with a win over Minnesota.
It was a rivalry game. It was at home. And it was for a chance to play in a bowl game, something that every Wisconsin team has played in for the last 22 years.
Instead, the Badgers lost for the fifth straight time behind an offense that is no longer recognizable to players from the past. Wisconsin also suffered its third consecutive defeat at Camp Randall Stadium and fourth this season.
Former Wisconsin football players have been following the season closely and speaking out in disgust on social media as the losses have piled up. Like the fans at Camp Randall Stadium on Friday, they again let their feelings be known about the direction of the program as Wisconsin finished the 2024 season 5-7.
Here’s a sample of the reactions from the likes of Brian Calhoun, Braelon Allen, Sojourn Shelton and others:
