MONROE - Just when it seemed the robins would return, snow fell and covered the ground and roads across Green and Lafayette counties Friday.
Snow began to fall after midnight throughout the area. Several accidents were reported throughout Green County as motorists had to contend with more snow, sleet and slippery conditions.
Green County Sheriff Randy Roderick said there were four traffic accidents and six vehicles in ditches between 6 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. today.
• One person was injured in a one-vehicle accident around 6:45 a.m. on Wisconsin 69 at Cold Springs Road. Roderick said a vehicle driven by Rhonda Goudy, Monroe, slid off the road and overturned. She sustained non-life threatening injuries.
• No one was injured in a one-vehicle accident around 8:15 a.m. in the 9400 block of Wis. 39. Roderick reported a vehicle failed to negotiate a curve.
• No one was injured in a one-vehicle accident around 8:30 a.m. on Wis. 92 in Brooklyn township. Roderick said a semi jack-knifed. Traffic was diverted, Roderick added.
• No one was injured in a one-vehicle accident around 2:30 p.m. in the 3100 block of County KS. Roderick said a vehicle hit a guardrail.
Roderick wasn't able to furnish more information because the accident reports haven't been finished.
Green County Highway Commissioner Dallas Cecil said the roads across Green County were snow-covered and slippery and said people needed to drive cautiously.
"Some of the roads are really, really bad but others are decent," Cecil said. "It seems like it stopped and started snowing five times today."
The Lafayette County Sheriff's Department reported the snow didn't affect as many people because it was Good Friday, and fewer people were on the roads.
Across Wisconsin, the winter storm dumped some 7 inches of snow across parts of southern Wisconsin on Friday, disrupting flights, snarling traffic and forcing the cancellations of Good Friday services.
Dozens of flights were delayed or canceled at the Milwaukee and Madison airports, leaving officials there bracing for larger crowds over the weekend.
"We've had a number of cancellations. I anticipate it will be quite busy here (Saturday) as people's flights are rescheduled," said Sharyn Wisniewski, spokeswoman for Dane County Regional Airport. "This also for us is the end of spring break so a number of (University of Wisconsin-Madison) students will be trying to get back this weekend."
Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee closed for more than an hour Friday morning as crews scrambled to keep runways clear. Airport spokeswoman Pat Rowe said workers would be busy all afternoon, trying to keep one of the two commercial runways open while clearing the other.
"As the day goes on I would say the majority of flights will at some point be delayed and a number of them canceled," she said. "People should be in contact with their airlines."
Law enforcement authorities across southern Wisconsin reported dozens of spinouts and minor collisions but no major injuries or fatalities. Visibility dropped to as low as a quarter-mile, but many residents seemed to heed calls to stay off the roads, authorities said.
