That balmy 40-plus degree weather we had this weekend? It's been replaced by a winter storm.
Starting Sunday through early this week, more than six inches of snow is expected to fall in north-central Wisconsin, said Roy Eckberg, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Green Bay.
Wausau is expected to get between six and eight inches, while Merrill to Eagle River could see eight to 12 inches.
"It's been a while since we've seen a decent storm of six inches or more — except for Door County a week ago," Eckberg said. "But it's typical Wisconsin winter weather: Use caution, take supplies with you in case you run off the road."
South of Wausau, most of the accumulation will be a mix of snow, sleet and rain, with a bit of ice. As the storm heads towards the Fox Valley and the lakeshore areas, there will be a sharp downturn in the snow levels, two inches at most.
There will also be gusts of wind from 35 to 45 mph along Lake Michigan, on I-43 and parts of I-41, Eckberg said.
Outside Wisconsin, the storm could lead to blizzard conditions throughout the Midwest, including northern Iowa and south central Minnesota, where land is flatter and more open than Wisconsin, Eckberg said.

"If you're traveling over the northwest half of (Wisconsin), you should exercise caution," Eckberg said. "Roads will likely be ice-covered or snow-covered, so use extra caution and extra time to reach your destination."
