Snow and Ice Reports on Wisconsin Interstates

Winter reporting is off for the season. Iowa DOT's Winter Road Conditions – Midwest Region feed, which carries Wisconsin DOT's segment-by-segment snow and ice conditions, runs from October 15 to April 15; outside that window it changes only as needed. Our own forecast below runs year-round.

Wisconsin Winter Road Reporting

Wisconsin DOT's winter road conditions reach this page through Iowa DOT's Winter Road Conditions – Midwest Region feed, which runs from October 15 to April 15 and refreshes every 10 minutes. That feed is published for reference; the authoritative report is 511WI. Conditions are entered by maintenance staff and describe what is on the pavement, not the forecast. This page shows those reports next to our own road-surface forecast. Always check with 511WI before setting off.
