As of 4 a.m. a helicopter flight over Dane and Rock counties found more than 800 vehicles—mostly tractors and semi trailers—not moving along portions of Interstate 90/39 in Southern Dane County south of Madison and Northern Rock County from Janesville to the Dane County line, according to the Wisconsin Emergency Operations Center that is working with the Wisconsin State Patrol, Department of Transportation, Department of Natural Resources and county officials to get traffic moving and restore the highways to good winter driving conditions.

Where traffic is moving, it is moving very slowly on slippery, snow-covered driving lanes.
