In addition to the dense fog this morning, the cold ground has allowed roads, bridges, sidewalks and parking lots to become slippery. This is even occurring where air temperatures remain slightly above freezing. These conditions are expected to continue through mid morning. Motorists are urged to use caution when traveling and to increase the following distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you. Prepare for sudden changes in visibility due to the dense fog, and be aware that if the road looks just wet, it could very well be icy.

Picasso’s Guernica bursts forth in a jumble of body parts, animals crying out in pain and heavy layers of historical context, created to tell the story of a physical battle. The original oil painting is 11.5 feet tall by 25.5 feet long and can be seen in person at the Reina Sofía Museum, Spain’s national modern and contemporary art center in Madrid.

Walleye Numbers are Down in Lake Erie

Ohio Division of Wildlife (ODW) officials have released their 2024 trawl survey indexes for Lake Erie’s two most-sought sportfish: yellow perch and walleye. This year’s results bring an end to a streak of wildly successful hatches for walleye. For yellow perch two of Ohio’s three management zones were above average, with the third zone down by 70% over last year.

Fog over southern Wisconsin is spreading north. Observations indicate the fog has become dense in some areas. Areas of dense fog will begin to impact areas south of highway 29 late this morning, and across the rest of northern Wisconsin early this afternoon. Plan on visibility to be reduced to less than one- quarter mile at times once the fog arrives. With temperatures below freezing, the fog could create slick spots on untreated roads and elevated surfaces such as bridges and overpasses. A dense fog advisory may eventually be needed for much of the area beginning later this morning if the fog persists. Motorists are urged to use caution traveling early this morning. Prepare for sudden changes in visibility and be aware that if the road looks wet, it could be icy.

Patchy fog and light freezing drizzle was occurring over much of the area early this morning. Thus far the drizzle was very light, leading to minimal icing or impacts on roads. The fog was producing visibility as low as one-half mile in spots. The freezing drizzle and fog could create slick spots on untreated surfaces, especially for elevated surfaces such as bridges and overpasses. Motorists are urged to use caution traveling early this morning. Prepare for sudden changes in visibility and be aware that if the road looks wet, it could be icy.

Patchy fog is expected across central and east-central Wisconsin tonight, which will limit visibility at times overnight. With temperatures below freezing, untreated surfaces may develop isolated slick spots, especially on elevated surfaces such as overpasses and bridges. Areas of drizzle will follow the fog in the early hours of Thursday, which may create icy spots on any surfaces still below freezing in the morning hours. Motorists are urged to use caution and monitor changing road conditions while traveling overnight and early in the morning on Thursday.

Although any precipitation will be very light, where air or ground temperatures are below freezing, a glazing of ice could develop on untreated roads, sidewalks, and bridges, resulting in slick travel.

In: invasive carp

Congress – on a bipartisan vote – passed legislation late last week that continues strong momentum to stop invasive carp from reaching Lake Michigan.

Invasive carp pose serious economic and ecological threats to the Great Lakes. Silver and bighead carp have already wreaked havoc on the Mississippi and Illinois rivers, out-competing native fish for food and injuring people who recreate on the rivers. We must stop these invasive fish from moving any closer to Lake Michigan.

Funding supports carp prevention project

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will soon start building a critical project to stop invasive carp from reaching Lake Michigan. The Corps will install a series of barriers at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam near Joliet, Illinois, a chokepoint in waterways leading to Lake Michigan.

In the bill just passed, Congress increased the federal cost-share – which is how much the federal government will chip in – to 90% for the project’s annual operations and maintenance. This commitment shows that Congress and the Administration recognize that the invasive carp pose a significant threat to the entire Great Lakes region.

By increasing the federal cost-share to 90%, Congress has helped ensure that we keep moving with urgency to protect the Great Lakes from invasive carp.

Construction of carp barriers set to begin

The Brandon Road project – a series of barriers on the Des Plaines River to stop silver and bighead carp from reaching the Great Lakes – is now set to begin construction. Site preparation and riverbed rock removal will begin at Brandon Road in January.

“Thank you to all the Great Lake advocates, members of Congress, and state and local officials who are working to keep invasive carp out of our lakes,” says Molly Flanagan, Chief Operating Officer, Alliance for the Great Lakes. “We look forward to seeing shovels in the ground at Brandon Road early next year.”
