GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Far northern Wisconsin never left the deep freeze, thanks to a new cold front that moved in Sunday.
Temperatures behind the front are bitter cold Monday morning, while it’s still relatively balmy in southern Wisconsin.
Phillips had 24-below at 7 a.m., and wind chills were no colder than that in the north.
Places close to Lake Michigan were the warmest Monday morning. It was 19 above in Kenosha at 7 a.m. The mercury approached 30 Sunday in some parts of the south.
Packer fans anticipating “Ice Bowl II” against the Dallas Cowboys had anything but. The 79,000-plus at Lambeau Field basked in the high 20’s with light winds — although it was cloudy the entire game.
After it got dark, the front brought light snow and flurries to northern and central Wisconsin, with only traces reported.
Light snow showers are expected to continue Monday near Lake Superior, but it’s supposed to be dry and cold everywhere else in the state this week.
Highs are expected between 5 and 16 above Monday. It could get down to 25-below Monday night in the north, with a statewide warming trend starting Tuesday.
Highs are projected to be in the teens Tuesday, and the 20’s the rest of the week — with a few 30’s on Friday.
