City of Racine declares snow emergency from Sunday to Tuesday

From The Journal Times.com:

Milana Doné

RACINE — The city's Commissioner of Public Works has declared a snow emergency effective from 3 p.m. Sunday until 6 a.m. Tuesday.

According to a City of Racine news release, the declaration is meant to aid the snow removal operations.

No parking will be permitted on either side of the city's arterial or collector streets. Alternate side parking will be in effect from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. per city ordinance. 

Parking restrictions will allow crews to remove as much snow as possible from city streets, the release said. Vehicles parked in violation of these restrictions will be ticketed and subject to towing.

An outline of the Snow Emergency Parking Restrictions and list of affected streets can be found at https://cityofracinewi.gov/publicworks/snowemergency/.

According to meteorologist Benjamin Sheppard at the National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan station, some of the predictions regarding the incoming snow storm have shifted from yesterday.

The system is still expected to begin with rain and could bring a wintry mix as it transitions to accumulating snowfall. However, it will take longer to reach the Racine and Kenosha areas than originally predicted.

A wintry mix and rain will reach southeast Wisconsin by Sunday morning. Some thunder and hail are possible Sunday morning as well.

Coming from central Wisconsin, the snow front will reach Racine and Kenosha areas between 7 p.m. Sunday and 1 a.m. Monday.

Snow will begin accumulating then and keep falling into Monday morning. Lighter accumulations will occur Monday afternoon.

Most of the snow accumulation will happen six to 12 hours after the snow starts, Sheppard said.

Because it will take longer than originally predicted for the snow front to reach southeast Wisconsin, total accumulations for Racine and Kenosha are down from prior estimates. They are now 3-6 inches.

By midday Sunday, Racine and Kenosha could see wind gusts of up to 35 mph. Sunday night gusts may reach upwards of 45 mph.

Your local TV meteorologist is not judged by the accuracy of his/her forecasts, but by the ratings that he/she generates.  Thus we have the shouting and foaming at the mouth and the inane warnings about future events that they have little knowledge of.  I've seen the city of Racine needlessly shut down a number of times due to these faulty forecasters.  I spent my final years on the job outdoors, in the landscape.  I learned to trust my own instincts rather than the babbling of some shill on the TV or radio.
