SHARE YOUR PHOTOS: It's Time to Welcome Back Winter

Well, that hyped snowstorm that was supposed to arrive early Thursday morning finally made its appearance. However, like any true life-of-the-party type, it showed up fashionably late Thursday.

Now that the storm is here, public works plowing crews are out on the more than 200 miles of roadways in the village clearing the snow as it continues to fall.

The snow began at roughly 9:30 a.m. Thursday in Menomonee Falls, and the snow is expected to last through Friday morning. The National Weather Service is predicting between 5 and 7 inches will fall in the two-day period. Roughly 3 to 4 inches is expected to fall by this evening.

Although the storm arrived after the morning commute, snow is acummulating on the roadways and could slow traffic for the ride home. Check the live traffic conditions on Patch to plan your route and avoid heavy traffic.

Menomonee Falls Patch hasn't received any notifications about closures due to the snow as of 3:15 p.m.
