Several vehicles parked on Lake Geneva during Winterfest broke through the ice and became partially submerged. A few vehicles were able to drive away before the ice broke, but several were unable to be saved. Recovery crews were called in to pull out the remaining vehicles.

That National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning for the area and is predicting a total snow accumulation of 12-15 inches. This storm system is then posed to move into the country’s mid section, and has many warnings posted in areas from Colorado to Iowa over the next 48 hours.
