2-3-20 warm temps threaten winter events

todayFebruary 1, 2020

Warm temperatures in Wisconsin could threaten traditional winter events including sturgeon spearing, ice castles and ice bars. Forecasters anticipate temperatures could reach 50 Sunday. Organizers at the Ice Castles in Lake Geneva are watching the weather closely. The popular event features massive ice castles that people can walk through. The warm temperatures will leave the castle floors slippery. And the ice may not be thick enough on Lake Winnebago to support the annual ritual of sturgeon spearing which begins Feb. 8. The weekend temperatures will also likely melt the ice bar at the Wicked Hop in downtown Milwaukee’s Third Ward.
