Blizzard Cleanup Continues Across Southeast Wisconsin as Milwaukee Runs Nearly 200 Vehicles, Madison Extends Snow Emergency Parking

Strong winds are drifting snow back onto cleared streets, leaving icy patches despite continuous plowing.

Overview

  • Milwaukee is operating nearly 200 pieces of equipment around the clock, including more than 50 garbage trucks fitted with plows.
  • Garbage and recycling pickup was suspended Monday in Milwaukee, with collections to be caught up in the coming days.
  • Milwaukee officials are not calling a citywide snow emergency, so standard parking rules remain in effect.
  • Madison has 36 trucks on salt routes and is keeping snow emergency parking rules in place until 7 a.m. Wednesday, with about an inch of additional snow possible overnight.
  • Officials warn that blowing and drifting over previously cleared lanes, along with brine washed away by pre-storm rain, will leave slick spots and extend cleanup 24 to 48 hours.
