A winter weather advisory has been issued for much of southern Wisconsin, starting at 6 p.m. today. Northwest of Madison, residents in Richland Center and Mauston are facing a winter storm warning.

Right now, snow accumulations of eight to ten inches are expected in areas north and northwest of Madison, with the highest totals northwest of Richland Center and Wisconsin Dells. Snow accumulations of one to four inches  will be possible southeast of Madison. The Wednesday morning commute could become especially slick.

Wisconsin Department of Transportation officials said the mix of snow and rain is expected to make driving very difficult through Wednesday.

Madison Streets Superintendent Chris Kelley said he is sending out another 32 snowplows at 7 a.m. Wednesday to deal with the storm.  Kelley said 32 plows have already working through the night on the city’s main roads. “We will try and double up the city streets to keep them open,” Kelley said.

Kelley said the salt routes are the city’s major thoroughfares that receive a salt treatment, which include Madison Metro bus routes, and roads around schools and hospitals. Residential areas may develop some slick areas during the evening Tuesday and could remain slick by Wednesday morning.

 The Streets Division doesn’t plow residential streets until there are 3 or more inches of snow accumulated on the roads, and the storm is at or near its end. Kelley said it is too early to tell whether the city will order a full plowing of residential streets.
