UNDATED (AP) - It's colder this morning in Wisconsin after the first big winter storm of the season killed at least three people among hundreds of traffic accidents.

Much of the state spent the weekend being hit with up to 10 inches of snow on Saturday followed by shoveling the wet, heavy precipitation yesterday.

Among the people killed were a 37-year-old man from Madison, and two others around Mauston who died in separate accidents.

Authorities say most of the hundreds of traffic accidents could have been avoided if drivers had simply prepared and driven a little slower.
