Granite peak snow

Kind of a funny weather hazard that happened in Wausau the other day.  The Granite Peak Ski Hill started making snow and because of just the right atmospheric conditions, the snow made it over to my parents neighborhood.  This doesn't seem like such a light snow could be hazardous but because it wasn't cold enough for the snow to stay snow, it made for very slippery conditions.

Several car accidents happened because of the icey conditions resulting in detoured roads.  According to some drivers, the detours became jammed because of two additional car accidents.

 The map below shows where Rib Mountain's Granite Peak Skill is compared to the area affected by the snow.

The general manager of the ski hill says that she recieves many complaints each year about the man-made snow causing slippery road conditions.  Seriously complainers, The hill is Wausau's biggest tourist attraction and creates additional hobbies for the locals.  We live in Wisconsin, Iced roads is something you need to learn to deal with!
