The areas in Southern and Central Wisconsin are seeing less snow fall this winter season than expected.

This decrease in snow flurries has caused the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to reconsider special candlelight ski events that are on the horizon. Throughout January and February there are 30 different scheduled candlelight events.
