Several inches had fallen by daybreak and more was expected, with far southern and southeastern Wisconsin experiencing the hardest hit, the National Weather Service said. National Weather Service
Southwestern and south-central Wisconsin were under a winter weather advisory until noon Tuesday, while counties along Lake Michigan from the Milwaukee area to the south were under a winter storm warning until 6 p.m.

One big snowstorm had barely departed the area on Wednesday, and forecasters already were talking about the next system that will take aim at southern Wisconsin on Friday.
After dumping several inches of snow Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, the current storm had departed south-central Wisconsin by daybreak, prompting the National Weather Service to cancel the winter storm warning that was to be in effect until 9 a.m., while a winter weather advisory remained in effect for eastern Wisconsin until 9 a.m.
There still is some uncertainty on the strength and track of the next system, as well as the precipitation type, but 2021 figures to start on a messy note, according to forecasters.
