Wisconsin winter weather: Snow returns Sunday night into Monday
MILWAUKEE – A winter weather advisory has been issued for Dodge, Washington, Ozaukee, Fond du Lac, and Sheboygan Counties from 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 28 to 12 p.m. Monday, Dec. 29.
Central and northern Wisconsin and surrounding areas in the Midwest are under a winter storm watch.
Snow is expected to accumulate between 2″-4″ with isolated areas that could see more. Areas not in the advisory zone can still receive accumulating snow from 1″-3″ for most locations with a trace-2″ near the border and lake shore.
Precipitation will begin as a few spotty showers early Sunday morning with heavier rain near the Wisconsin-Illinois border by early Sunday afternoon. Some areas can have a dry slot early in the event, preventing precipitation from reaching the ground. As moisture increases near the surface, widespread rain is favorable during the late afternoon on Sunday through Sunday night. Very cold air will arrive on the backside of this system, transitioning from rain over to snow around 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday.
Temperatures will be in the 40s for most of Sunday, which will keep precipitation as rain. Winds will shift out of the northwest during the afternoon, transporting cold air into southeast Wisconsin. This will change precipitation over to a short term wintry mix, then completely over to snow overnight. Cold air can quickly cause freezing of previously falling rain.
Sustained northwesterly winds can blow 20 to 30 mph with gusts of 40 to 45 mph. It is possible that a wind advisory may be needed if this high wind gust trend continues. Wind of this strength will cause lower visibility when snow falls.
Strong winds can gust up to 40 mph as snow is falling. With falling temperatures, wind chills will be in the single digits to near zero by Monday morning.
Plan on slippery road conditions that can impact holiday travel late Sunday into the Monday morning commute.

Michael Schumacher, Wisconsin author of biographies of Alan Ginsberg and Eric Clapton, dies at 75
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Michael Schumacher, a Wisconsin author who produced a diverse array of works ranging from biographies of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola and musician Eric Clapton to accounts of Great Lakes shipwrecks, has died. He was 75.
Schumacher’s daughter, Emily Joy Schumacher, confirmed Monday that her father passed away on Dec. 29. She did not provide the cause of death.
Schumacher produced such varied biographies as “Francis Ford Coppola: A Filmmaker’s Life;” “Crossroads: The Life and Music of Eric Clapton;” and “Dharma Lion: A Biography of Allen Ginsberg” — a prominent Beat Generation poet and writer.
Other biographies included “Mr. Basketball: George Mikan, the Minneapolis Lakers & the Birth of the NBA” and ”Will Eisner: A Dreamer’s Life in Comics.” Eisner was one of the earliest cartoonists to work in American comic books and was a pioneer of the graphic novel concept.
Though he was born in Kansas, Schumacher lived most of his live in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He studied political science at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside but left the school just one credit short of graduating, his daughter said. He gravitated toward writing at a young age, she said, and basically built two writing careers — one focused on biographies and another on Great Lakes lore.
Living on the shores of Lake Michigan in Kenosha, Schumacher produced accounts of how the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald sank during a storm on Lake Superior in 1975; a November 1913 storm that claimed the lives of more than 250 Great Lakes sailors; and how four sailors fought to survive on Lake Michigan after their ship sank in a storm in 1958.
Emily Joy Schumacher described her father as “a history person” and “a good human.” She said he worked longhand, filling countless flip notebooks and later transcribing them on a typewriter. She said she still remembers the sound of the keys clacking.
“My dad was a very generous person with people,” Emily Joy Schumacher said. “He loved people. He loved talking to people. He loved listening to people. He loved stories. When I think of my dad, I think of him engaged in conversation, coffee in his hand and his notebook.”
