I just got a note from my daughter in Milwaukee. She works as a Biomedical Engineering intern at the VA hospital and is expected to report to work on time tomorrow. She may need to camp out at the hospital tonight. Check this forecast:

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from 3 PM this
afternoon to 3 PM CST Tuesday. A blizzard watch remains in effect
from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon.


* Timing... lake effect snow potential and system snows increase
this afternoon into tonight. Lake effect potential continues
Tuesday... with another stronger low arriving later Tuesday
through at least early Wednesday afternoon.

* Snow accumulations... 4 to 7 inches of accumulation this
afternoon into Tuesday. Additional 15 to 17 inches Tuesday
night into Wednesday with storm totals around 2 feet in some
areas.

* Winds... northeast winds 25 to 35 mph Tuesday night gradually
shift north Wednesday. Gusts of 40 to 60 mph with highest
winds in open areas and near Lake Michigan.

* Impacts... reduced visibilities to 1/4 mile or less at times
due to snow and blowing snow... resulting in treacherous travel
conditions. Worst conditions Tuesday night into Wednesday when
near zero whiteout conditions and drifts of 5 to 10 feet
possible. Potential for paralyzing blizzard.
