No snow or ice reported. Wisconsin DOT shows all 113 interstate segments in normal condition as of Oct 17, 2026 3:10 AM CDT. Reports update every 10 minutes through April 15. When snow moves in, this section lists each affected stretch with its mile markers and how long it has been that way.
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.
Interstates Through Wisconsin, Road by Road
