Why emergency weather alerts continuously show up on a television broadcast
Continuing snowstorms and strong winds are causing roads, especially in many of the northern counties, to become impassable.
WisDOT officials are asking that people stay off the roads in order to keep themselves and others safe. Several cities, villages, and towns throughout the state have already declared a Snow Emergency, and Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers declared a State of Emergency on Saturday.
