Students waking up Saturday morning found a steady stream of
snow falling on the Madison area.
As of noon Saturday, most downtown streets and sidewalks were covered in snow,
making travel by both car and foot difficult for people choosing to brave the
conditions.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for the Madison area
through 6 a.m. Sunday, as “moderate to heavy snow” is predicted to
blanket the area all Saturday afternoon.
A total of about 4-5 inches is expected from the storm, as the snow and sleet
will eventually turn into freezing rain later in the day. Ice accumulation in
addition to the snow “will result in a treacherous and dangerous
combination for travel conditions” Saturday night, the National Weather
Service reports.
The storm is also affecting other areas of the Midwest. On Saturday morning,
the Des Moines, Iowa airport shut down after a United Airlines plane skidded on
a runway as it was preparing for takeoff.
