Crews across southeast Wisconsin work hard to clear roads during first snowstorm of season

MUKWONAGO, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Most people in Wisconsin are used to winter storms, however, the storm that hit our area over this holiday weekend was significant for crews across southeast Wisconsin.

All Seasons Facility Maintenance, a woman-owned business near Mukwonago, had crews working to clear the roads on Saturday. President Morgan Ferrari said her crews had to adjust due to more people traveling.

“Daytime storms like this are very hard, because the snow gets compacted, because everybody’s driving on it," Ferrari said. "So, we’ll see what it looks like after we plow everything, there might be some compacted snow issues, even on the freeway and the roads I think because people are driving on it.”

People in Mukwonago said it's been a while since a November snow had this much of an impact, especially on a weekend with so many people traveling for Thanksgiving.

“To get a snowstorm in November like this is not very common," Ferrari said.

CBS 58 reporter Kathryn Merck was right off Highway 43 in Mukwonago, where cars on Rochester Street could be seen taking it extra slow. Many cars have been sliding due to the slippery conditions.

For anyone planning on running an errand Saturday afternoon, Ferrari urged people to make sure they allow plenty of time to get there safely.
